Oh my God. He's gone.

fratured an ankle and had to be euthanized

Was put down....very sad

Close to tears here

Conler(sp?) fracture - Ankle

He's gone. I'm sorry.

RIP Gorgeous George. Dislocated ankle, open fracture. Blood supply shot. I'm so so sorry for him and his people. How terrible.

So sad to hear that he had to put down after the condylar fracture. R I P GW, may the grass be greener on the other side.

My heart goes out to Roy and Gretchen Jackson. How hard a year 2007 has been.

Never looked comfortable out there, terrible tragedy. Marred a nice afternoon of action.

Rotten day for the euros.

Don't really know what to say.

I hate this sport sometimes.




Good night, George, thanks for the memories.

Until this there'd been no injuries right? And Dr. Larry said this injury wasn't due to the track condition.

Shouldnt of raced anymore the first time he came up lame, but oh well. Must be a sad time with the Irish contingent, everything went wrong and top it off GW had to die. RIP GW you could of been of the best

"When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun."

Goodbye, brilliant boy. You were loved and will NEVER be forgotten.

You leave us with holes in our hearts...

Gutted.

not sure why, but as soon as they said something was wrong, i felt that it was george. a beauty and full of talent. star crossed for sure. my condolences to the jacksons, coolmore and aob, and anyone else touched by this horse in his all too brief time. it's always those behind the scenes who take it hardest, the groom, the exercise rider....i was hoping he would do well today, for danehill if nothing else.
what a rotten ending to a rotten race.

I have sent my condolences to the Aidan O'Brien team.

This is gonna sound bad but when it first happened (I couldn't quite tell who'd finished since some were bay and covered in mud) I was like "oh no, not Tiago." He was a sentimental fave of mine all year. Then I realized it was George and I felt sick.
