actually I think the broken pelvis horse was a different one

 

the pelvis treatment etc still stands but a different unfortunate horse   
 

 

 

 

discorama was the horse with the pelvic injury

So what was posted about Eclair Surf was nonsense then?

I heard the horse broke it’s pelvis and was put down later

 

lots of horses recover from a broken pelvis and can even race again

 

this horse was 8 year old so arguably  the pelvis injury was not 100% clear at the time whether it was treatable hence the reason not making the decision there and then -  unfortunately it proved not to be treatable

 

areas like this is where anti-horse racing / anti-grand national debaters let themselves down - there are plenty areas to raise very genuine concerns about and whether the industry is / can properly address them without trying to shoe-horn incidents into the argument where the particular context of the incident can be defended which helps to dilute some of the more fundamental points they have

 

 

Good post. Muddying the waters with half truths benefits no-one and detracts from genuine awareness raising about concerns. 👍🏻

eclair surg has been reported as dying from a traumatic head injury not a pelvic injury

Wish folk would make more of an effort before blindly sharing fake news they find on social media.

The burger van down the road from me was cooking horse meat not that long ago, beat that.

Back to work after a weekend at Aintree.  Out the 7 races I scooped in 4 (£110, £130, £130, £147.50) all from £5 e/w bets.  Didn't come close in the National.

 

It's a long day, it's obviously heaving, you can get served no bother at all, the food is daft prices so you just don't eat (£8 for a sausage roll), the pints are £7 but you don't bat an eyelid.  No phone signal, it's so easy to lose your group if you don't plan when you are going and where you will meet, we moved as a group to the betting and the bar, the drug taking is off the scale, you're on your feet from the second you get off the train until the second you arrive home. 

 

The National is actually the least enjoyable race for me, watching it praying the horses get round uninjured   The other races aren't like that at all.

One of the guys in our group won £3,600 on one race. £100ew on a 25/1 shot. He'd won £600 on an earlier race and decided to go for it.

If I don't hear another Liverpudlian voice for a few weeks I'll be happy.
