I was standing on Ascot Heath for the Clarence House Chase in January when a tired Il Etait Temps and Paul Townend fell right in front of me at the second last. When horses fall I always look for them to get back on their feet quickly and I am always looking for them to continue with the herd and to check that they are sound. Il Etait Temps did not get up quickly. In fact he stayed down for a considerable amount of time. His jockey, Mr Townend stayed with him. The dreaded screens went up and they stayed up for a good 10 minutes. The horse ambulance arrived and the Ascot veterinary team were heavily present. Paul Townend remained with his horse showing considerable care. The longer the situation went on the more I feared the worse for the horse. I thought back to the Cyrname incident at Ascot which gave me some reassurance but I’d begun to give up hope. Paul Townend eventually emerged from behind the screen and I shouted to him asking if his horse was alright. He gave me the thumbs up and he got into a car to take him back to the weighing room. Seconds later the screens came down and Il Etait Temps walked soundly into the horse ambulance. Such a relieve. This horse went on to be a fantastic winner of this year’s Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival a couple of months later. I cannot possibly believe that Paul Townend would knowingly ride out a horse that he knew was injured. It beggars belief to think that anyone would believe that. That day at Ascot his prime concern was for the welfare and wellbeing of his horse and I find it inconceivable that that behaviour would not be a constant in his character and be the same for every horse that he rides.

There it is people, nothing to see here re Gold Dancer incident and death Spineless Authority that is destroying horse racing strikes again James Given spoke and all agreed What a SAD day for horse racing...corrupt to the core

And because Gold Dancer passed the winning line, in front, with a broken back, his connections not only received the winning prize-money of £67.5k, but also a @BHAHorseracing incentizised £20,000 bonus It sits well with them, does it sit well with you? 🤔

@RacingTV I've always liked Willie Mullins but had to switch this off. Do they think we are blind ans stupid, the horses clearly lost his action after the fence and kept going because Paul T used his whip. He should sack him immediately

@joebloggsuk1 I've switched it off and won't be watching for a while. It will be banned eventually and, after following it for over 40 years, I feel maybe this would be a good thing. Truly sickened today

"After reviewing the footage, The Director of Equine, Safety, and Welfare explained that Gold Dancer's action was typical of a 3-mile chaser in the final stages of a race and supported the evidence of Townend." (3/3)

The Stewards report from the Mildmay Novices' Chase, where Gold Dancer suffered a fatal injury... "Townend explained that Gold Dancer had made a bad mistake at the last fence after which it had taken a stride or two for the gelding to gather himself before, in his opinion, running on in a straight line to the winning line where Gold Dancer felt sound...

A photo and a moment that will help me remember Saint Sam. At the time it almost seemed surreal such was the quietness and the solitude. It’s a tough sport at times that really does pull at our heartstrings. It can break your heart. We just have to hope that he was doing what he loved, he lived a happy life, and was adored by all who knew him. That’s all any of us would want. RIP x

Probably one of the saddest days I can remember. So unfair that he never got his retirement and a leisurely life. Thoughts are with all who loved him. RIP Envoi Allen.

@itvracing One of those days when I feel ashamed that I love horse racing. He should have been looked after and pulled up. Result doesn't matter now. RIP Envoi Allen ♥️

@Auntiepamsy Maybe. I hate to say it but he reminded me of Bernard Manning if you can remember him! Jokes about disabled people and calling some of his friends including Paddy McGuiness who I also like.

@bigcatjazz Really? That’s such a shame. I used to love his humour so much. I wonder if his illness has changed his personality a bit?
