First horse death at Britain’s newest racecourse
Posted on the 9th September 2009
‘Older And Wiser’ became the first equine victim at Britain’s newest racecourse, Ffos Las, following an horrific fall.
On 28 August the 7 year old grey gelding travelled over from Ireland to race at the new Welsh course’s second jump race meeting. The horse fell in the closing stages of a 3 mile novice hurdle race and sustained serious injuries. Older And Wiser did not recover and, sadly, died a few days later.
