Yes, this has been a pretty sad story behind the scenes.
I'd usually see him fairly often mingling amongst training staff on race day but barely spotted in recent months.
Had an incredibly solid stable going only a few years back.
Hope he can find his way back from this difficult time and sort those demons out.

My nag, running again at Strath. R5, no 6. It's never run on the heavy track so this could be an interesting watch.

Bombed the start and ran mid field. FFS.

Jock said she jumped prior to the gates being released, banged her head on the barrier then took a few strides to get back into her action.
