I was standing on Ascot Heath for the Clarence House Chase in January when a tired Il Etait Temps and Paul Townend fell right in front of me at the second last. When horses fall I always look for them to get back on their feet quickly and I am always looking for them to continue with the herd and to check that they are sound. Il Etait Temps did not get up quickly. In fact he stayed down for a considerable amount of time. His jockey, Mr Townend stayed with him. The dreaded screens went up and they stayed up for a good 10 minutes. The horse ambulance arrived and the Ascot veterinary team were heavily present. Paul Townend remained with his horse showing considerable care. The longer the situation went on the more I feared the worse for the horse. I thought back to the Cyrname incident at Ascot which gave me some reassurance but I’d begun to give up hope.

Paul Townend eventually emerged from behind the screen and I shouted to him asking if his horse was alright. He gave me the thumbs up and he got into a car to take him back to the weighing room. Seconds later the screens came down and Il Etait Temps walked soundly into the horse ambulance. Such a relieve. This horse went on to be a fantastic winner of this year’s Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival a couple of months later.

I cannot possibly believe that Paul Townend would knowingly ride out a horse that he knew was injured. It beggars belief to think that anyone would believe that. That day at Ascot his prime concern was for the welfare and wellbeing of his horse and I find it inconceivable that that behaviour would not be a constant in his character and be the same for every horse that he rides.

This is an awesome sight to be seen. On a Dude Ranch in Wyoming amd they let the ranch horses out each evening to the pastures and it's an awesome spectacle. Makes you feel good!

We lost Paddys Planet earlier this evening. He had been retired just 5 weeks ago with a recurrence of a tendon and today was taken ill with breathlessness and fluid on his lungs. So sad to lose him he brought an awful lot of happiness

Sleep Well Paddys Planet!🏇🏿

The two side profiles of Atacanter with his unusual Snip marking on his face. Hopefully, he will get this distinctive head over the line at Fairyhouse later today!! Good Luck my beauty.

Some of Gordons were out hunting recently for a change of scenery, I think The Bosses Oscar was one of them

@kevinblake2011 @bbc5live Well done Kevin. I heard the same guy on earlier yesterday with Nicky when Sandie Thompson was on and his argument was so poor then as it was with Kevin.
