CONSUL DE THAIX suffered a fatal fall at the first race of the day at Cheltenham, it has been confirmed.
The death of the JP McManus-owned horse, who was trained by Nicky Henderson, was confirmed shortly after the race.
Jockey Mark Walsh, who was deputising for the injured Barry Geraghty, was also hurt in the accident and has been ruled out of competing in the rest of the festival as a result of the fall.
Willoughby Court, priced at 14/1 beforehand, emerged victorious in the race in question, with favourite Neon Wolf second and Messire Des Obeaux third.

And the hillsbourogh chants are just banter? Both sides have their elements
Bitter Man U fans as usual…..can’t take a beating.
They are disgraceful
Haha not bitter at all. Thats football, sometimes you lose. I dont know any united fan that wouldnt have taken a draw today. Disappointing to lose but so be it. Roll on the 11th, a chance to e even things up.
Which is exactly why I said both sides. But don’t let that get in the way I saying it’s just scousers it’s the football fan mentality in England where they don’t know when to cross the line
Two cups for the ‘Pool? (while the Mancs enjoy Thursday night football and battle it out for top spot). Progress at least.
Carling cup is there only chance at this moment in time, beating a very weak united team is nothing to be proud of
As gracious in defeat as ever….ah well suppose it’s better than the 3 united fans arrested for spitting at the Hillsborough Memorial today
I’m not even a utd fan. I’m just making a point that Liverpool weren’t playing against a good utd team. No Rooney, Vidic, Ferdinand, or an established right back. Not to mention a 37 and 38 year old in midfield.
To be fair though Conor Liverpool were missing Lucas and Suarez as well arguably their two most influential players
top notch defensive and attacking performance by liverpool also though. Carroll hasn’t been the best but played well today
I think Sir Alex is adding a bit of heat to the game by putting Patrice Evra as captain.
Huh? He is regulary Manchester Uniteds captain. Why would today be any different?
The ‘One Lying bastard’ chant sums thrm up perfectly. Klanfield indeed.
I hear ‘without killing anyone’ nothing about hillsborough. Its a reference to Heysel. Remember that one?
And no Ice on the Runway today from the Kop?
Cant believe KKK went with Caroll over Bellamy, Bellamy is about 10 times the player & 20 times more dangerous than Caroll.
United by far the best team in the first half,should never have let in a goal that soft. Id have stuck with Lindegaard.
Great atmosphere to be fair.loving the ‘always the victims,never your fault’ song.
Bellamy’s knees are knackered. Not supposed to play for 90 mins even oncce a week and had two games already this week. Should be on for Maxi, 2nd half. Bad as Carroll is he’ll make a nuisance of himself for United’s defence and keeper and good for the odd nod down.
Good goal from Kuyt. Evra caught out & DDG bad yet again.
Looked offside to me
Can you be offside from a goal kick, let me ask you?
Thanks Paul. I’m a Mayo man meself but I’ll take ur interesting and original thought onboard.
2.1
Tired or not Bellamy has to start 2nd half instead of Maxi. Adam and Johnson for Henderson and Downing, Johnson to play right wing. No point in hesitating with the changes Kenny.Stream has gone so can’t see 2nd half!
