Cheltenham

My heart goes out to Sir Gino, who sadly was put to sleep this morning. 💔 🗣️ Nicky Henderson described him as "One of the nicest, kindest horses you could ever wish to see". Our condolences go out to everyone at @sevenbarrows & the Donnelly's.

We have very sadly lost the battle to overcome Sir Gino’s 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 1’s 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.

One of the best chase debuts I've seen in a long time. Rest Easy, Sir Gino. 💛🖤

Rest Easy, Sir Gino. 💔 Described as "one of the nicest, kindest horses you could ever wish to see", Sir Gino was a fighter through & through. A truly unforgettable horse. 💛🖤
