So sad to hear that he had to put down after the condylar fracture. R I P GW, may the grass be greener on the other side.

Never looked comfortable out there, terrible tragedy. Marred a nice afternoon of action.

Rotten day for the euros.
Don't really know what to say. I hate this sport sometimes. Good night, George, thanks for the memories.

Until this there'd been no injuries right? And Dr. Larry said this injury wasn't due to the track condition.

not sure why, but as soon as they said something was wrong, i felt that it was george. a beauty and full of talent. star crossed for sure. my condolences to the jacksons, coolmore and aob, and anyone else touched by this horse in his all too brief time. it's always those behind the scenes who take it hardest, the groom, the exercise rider....i was hoping he would do well today, for danehill if nothing else.
what a rotten ending to a rotten race.

He truly gave us everything he had on the track. I was really excited to see him back this year, yet this has put a real damper on a great day of racing.
