๐ข A sad and gut wrenching day for jumps racing as a whole as say goodbye to a superstar of a horse in Sir Gino. A horse, who I personally think in my opinion , would have been one of the greats of the sport, if he had been allowed the opportunity to showcase his talent for the duration of his career.
Thoughts go out to the Donnellyโs and all @sevenbarrows.
Sir Gino first caught my eye in his native France, in April 2023 when he won on debut, beating Salvator Mundi at Auteuil, and I followed him from there, ever since.
The overwhelming feeling is one of profound sadness, that we have been robbed of such a wonderful specimen of equine brilliance.
RIP Sir Gino ๐๏ธ ๐
We have very sadly lost the battle to overcome Sir Ginoโs ailment and he has had to be put to sleep at the veterinary hospital this morning.
He has been fighting from severe deep-seated infections that he had overcome last year prior to his brilliant return in the Christmas Hurdle but this time it had spread too far although his fractured pelvis was healing well.
He was not only brilliant but one of the nicest kindest horses you could ever wish to see and this leaves an awful hole in Seven Barrows this morning and a very sad day for Joe & Marie Donnelly. They have had some wonderful horses over the years and they both care so much for them so losing such a young star with his life in front of him is particularly cruel.
Sir Gino was unbeaten in all his 7 starts including 3 Grade 1โs over hurdles and an amazing display in a Grade 2 Chase on his one and only start over fences.
We would have to say that he was just at least as good as any of all the amazing horses we have been lucky enough to have trained. Unforgettable in every way.
The worst news.
Such a talented horse who was so unlucky to have as many setbacks as he did.
That chasing debut was truly special.
Rest easy, Sir Gino.
