DJP Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Racing was delayed at Newbury following an incident in which two horses collapsed and died in the paddock before the first race. Both Fenix Two and Marching Song mysteriously fell to the ground, with the reasons for their deaths unknown. Some horses had already made it down to the start and there were reports that others had "wobbled" on entering the paddock. Stipendiary steward Paul Barton said: "We are going to hold an inquiry and interview those connected with the horses. We are not going to use the parade ring for the rest of the meeting. The horses will parade in the pre-parade ring and leave from that point." He added: "The veterinary team are in charge of whatever precautions as far as the other horses are concerned. They have checked all other horses in this race." Nicky Henderson, however, was quick to withdraw his runner Kid Cassidy. Andy Turnell, trainer of Marching Song, said: "It looks like they've been electrocuted. My fellow seemed perfectly all right and I was about to leg him up but he just went straight down." Jonjo O'Neill, trainer of Fenix Two, said: "Kid Cassidy was in front and he took a turn. We thought he was bucking and kicking and he went down on his knees then he seemed to be OK. Mine reared up and we couldn't get him back, it was like he was stuck to the ground. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life." There is speculation the horses died from some form of electric shock from a cable running underneath. Denman's owner Paul Barber was in the paddock and said: "The girl of Turnell's said she felt a tingling as she led them round and then Nicky's horse went down. They were getting the shocks off the grass, not off the tarmac. I've never seen anything quite like that ever." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJP Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Racing now off at Newbury, no real shock I guess in such tragic circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Racing now off at Newbury, no real shock I guess in such tragic circumstances. They actually ran the race involving the horses who were killed/shocked which seems bizarre to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJP Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 They actually ran the race involving the horses who were killed/shocked which seems bizarre to me. Yeah, did see that, most bizarre. Guess was a real state of shock/confusion at the time. I was thinking about going today, glad I never. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rydo1982 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Quite a few bets today in the hope of incresing the Cheltenham fund. 2.25 Ascot - Ogee 3.35 Ascot - Lough Derg 1.40 Haydock - Local Hero 3.20 Haydock - Le Beau Bai 3.55 Haydock - According to Pete 2.40 Wincanton - Jetnova 3.45 Wincanton - Overturn 4,15 Wincanton - I'm a Legend None of them backed to particularly big stakes right enough. Had a lot of shorter priced efforts that I liked but would have involved either heavy stakes or doubles/trebles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
