Thanks for taking part everyone.

Derby Sweepstakes in June.

Really close race, one of the best I have seen.

Did either of mine die? They usually do when I bet on them

Omg Marc.

Well done to the top 4, and wtf Marc lol?

I wish I would have placed a bet on this instead of Shakalakaboomboom. :bawling:

I bet on Shakalakaboomboom as well today. Was chuffed when it led the field most of the way then it all went wrong :(

Mmm. I'm saying nothing. Can't even get a bloody horse in a sweep without that going tits up.

Poor horse.

..which were the horses that were hurt?

Synchronised and According to Pete were the two that died

..very sad
..this is why I don't like this race

It is really sad that again 2 horses died, more really needs to be done to avoid this in the future,reduction in the number of Horses would help and also again reduce the heights of fences. It does ruin the day when any loss of life occurs like this.

It's been the same since I was a kid though Joey. Beechers Brook along with one or two other jumps have always been the main areas of injuries that have required the horses to be put down. They makes small 'improvements' but it doesn't change the final effect. Horses still are injured and have to be put down decades later.

I was winning one year and then the damn horse fell down and got put down. FGS FFS AH

That was a bit selfish of it Marc

A tenner it cost me :bored: The jockey must have made a mistake or it would have had it tied up otherwise
