Bak to Bill dies

By Graham Clark

A MULTIPLE national hunt race winner died in bizzare circumstances in Newmarket on Tuesday.
Bak to Bill, a winner of more than £75,000 in prizemoney, suffocated after trying to climb over a petition in his horsebox.

The 13-year-old gelding, who ran his last race at Wincanton in March 2007, was being transported back to his former trainer Sue Gardiner's Exeter stables after not settling at the British Horseracing School where he had been retired.

Owner Des Gardiner said: "He was a home breed of ours that gave us a lot of fun during his racing career and he will be sadly missed."

I really dont get the "suffocated after trying to climb over a petition in his horsebox."
What was the petition for?
Did he sign it?
Why was the petition in his horsebox?
What is a horsebox?
Why was he climbing it? Was he trying to escape from his horsebox?
How do you suffocate in a horsebox?
Was it the petition that suffocated the horse?

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MYSTERIOUS EVENT??

Isn't a horsebox what they call a horsetrailer/van in England? I'm guessing the petition is the divider of the stalls?
