Does Anyone Know About This Fall

[lizbud]

I read a account of a terrible fall of house & rider at a Chase event in
England. The pictures displayed showed slow motion shots of them as
the fall happened. There is no news on how the horse was doing after
the fall. Looked everywhere for a update but didn't find any. If anyone
hears of a update, can you please post it. Thanks.

Is THIS (http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/apr/03/exotic-dancer-denman-grand-national) the event? Sounds ghastly.

I saw that on the Huffpost. I searched google and there's a note that said the horse sustained no longtime damage. Poor thing. At the least he must have been very sore. :(
As for Exotic Dancer, he died of a heart attack shortly after the race. Tragic.

De Luain Gorm was the horse that took this fall.:( Looking at the
pictures, I wouldn't have thought he could have walked away from
a fall like that.:(

I did read about Exotic Dancer.:( I heard this particular chase has
sixteen or seventeen very tall jumps in about 2 1/2 miles course.
