@AntepostValue@IrishNHTips@itvracing The muzzle isn’t the same as the actual nostrils. Plenty of horses have pink/almost red nostrils when racing (although usually during or after). Increased blood pressure couple with thin skin in that area makes it more visible.
Post race report should highlight if he bled
@SorchaNiRuaidh@Joeoreilly0@CRCofficial He was still down 15 mins ago, apparently.
Trying to find some updates but probably best to wait for something official in this instance. Fingers crossed.
@Joeoreilly0@SorchaNiRuaidh@CRCofficial Nothing confirmed yet and a few saying the horse is up and okay. Best not to jump to conclusions without it being confirmed.
Hopefully both horse and jockey are okay
@OddSmashr619 Agree with you on that completely. Something that needs to be addressed with the sport.
You still shouldn’t have tweeted saying the horse is dead though.
@dr_besty@TobyyBrandd@dave2482@sevenbarrows You were looking at the wrong horse, that was Col Du Pre. Seen a couple of people say his leg was just caught in the reins so hopefully all good.
@MasonChris75816@nickluck So? That calibre of horse is campaigned for the best races during the peak of their career.
I get people want to see them run but ultimately it’s the owner and trainer who decide. Clearly works well.
@DylanGillGB180@jiggerypokery80@nickluck The very same common denominator that won 8 Grade 1s on Constitution Hill, and with more Grade 1s than any other active British jockey.
