bowles10 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Farmer Jack R.I.P. heard it this morning whilst driving the kids to school & must admit had a lump in my throat. The horse could have ended up one of the horses of the year with it's 2 fine victories recently & going for the Gold Cup. Thoughts go out to the owners, Hobbs, & his staff.

andyirwin Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Farmer Jack R.I.P. Just turned on the local news where they had a story about it. It had an interview from earlier this morning where he was saying that it was 50/50 as to whether it would run and they were looking to go to Aintree. Then within a few hours this happens. A great shame and thoughts go out to all the connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingForTheEnemy Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Farmer Jack R.I.P. Just seen it logging on to the Racing Post site. I had just been thinking how nothing went wrong safety wise yesterday and how it would be good for an uneventful Cheltenham. At the end of the day the horses and jockeys are more important than any money lost or won. Feelings go out for those connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazySuzy Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Farmer Jack R.I.P. You probably can't see cos it isn't the best photo, but my avatar is Farmer Jack - a gutsy fellow who i have followed for some time. If he had to go he would perhaps have chosen to drop dead on the gallops. Thanks for the ride Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephysician Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Farmer Jack R.I.P. My god (which I don't actually have...). I'm a newbie at the racing game, but I'm shocked by this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
