Have they gave an update?
It looked like a broken leg on the replay (same one that was re-shoed)

Nice to see the winning trainer shed a tear when being interviewed and talking about Sir Eric - shows how much horse's mean to him regardless of who trains them.

I didn't see it but if it was a broken leg he will have to be put down. The re-shoeing will have had absolutely nothing to do with it.

I am one of horse racing's biggest supporters but even I think jumps should be banned, just horrific to watch

That's took a massive shine off the day, especially how I was willing it not to be WD

Was bad for sure.

The Sporting Life website replay will always be there as long as you register with skybet. (same login details used for the Super6 comp)

It pretty much wasn't a jumping injury. Happens to flat horses as well.

It seemed to be several lengths after the previous fence when it was pulled up and disrupted a few other runners, but the initial mis-footing or whatever it was likely came about from the previous landing
