Ripalong Lad, a 10 year old gelding, collapsed and died after finishing 6th at Ludlow (3 miles, 19 fences at odds of 25/1).

At one point he had had a 2 year break.

Wonder why.

Prominent, ridden along and lost place before 12th, struggling when blundered 15th, hampered soon after and well adrift, collapsed fatally after race ... is all it says and I think we all deserve a little more than that.

Goodbye, good boy.

Hope you didn't have to suffer.
