Arakti. Just three years old. A winner of two races, and twice stakes-placed. Fractured off fore leg in the G1 International Stakes today.

For anyone who doesn't realize it, he was a son of Rakti who we lost in December.

Arakti was truly up and coming.

Better days...

Fenix Two and Marching Song died after being electricuted today at Newbury. Horrific. Other horses were burned in their mouths.

A brutal day.

Glencove Marina was 2nd in the G1 Hennessey Gold Cup at Leopardstown.

Results...

Glencove Marina collapsed after the line and lost his life. This was a truly black day for horseracing, and one which won't be quickly forgotten.

I guess today wasn't sad enough...

A second horse from the Hennessey Gold Cup is gone.

Rest in peace, Money Trix.

A hugely talented young horse, gone far too soon.
