Thank you.

Some great names on this list, I hope they will remain great wherever they might be right now.

These past few weeks have caused heartbreak for many racing fans in the UK, The deaths of Granit Jack, Detroit City and Macs Joy touched the hearts of even the most unforgiving racing fan. I haven't been able to get into National Hunt racing since and for the first time in many years, I'm not looking forward to Cheltenham or Aintree next year. It has come to the stage where I'm just hoping every horse gets around and comes back safe, which isn't how this sport should be.

I saw Granit Jack in the paddock before his great second in the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, not knowing that the next time he would appear in the same paddock he would be moments from his death

This is the final time I saw him in the flesh. Sleep well big man.
