    Theres no way he will run - its usual to have a 2nd scan at this point and the media have taken that to mean something else

    If it's a torn tendon for certain I was thinking along the lines of we will never see this horse racing again rather than expecting a potential Cheltenham appearance. He's no spring chicken in racing terms and he's given connections an unbelievable journey. Whatever they choose I hope this horse doesn't suffer as a consequence of poor human error.

    All going well, after 8 or so months when it has healed well and he can have a season or two more but only if he's 100%.
