Superstar Bow Echo has been retired from racing through injury, with Billy Loughnane describing the unbeaten three-year-old as an "unbelievable racehorse who has given me days in the saddle that I could only ever have dreamed of". Bow Echo leaves the track with a perfect record from six starts, having completed a remarkable Group 1 treble in the 2,000 Guineas, St James's Palace Stakes and Sussex Stakes.
Gstaad is also out for a while, O'Brien told The Punter ". He got galloped into at Goodwood and got a little bit of an infection in his hind leg. "The antibiotics we put him on would usually mean that you can run him within seven days, but the cut was so deep that they had to put him on extra-strong antibiotics so it will take 14 days to get out of his system, so it will be the Moulin for him now. That's probably where he will go next."
Big Buck's, a long time member of this publication and the greatest staying hurdler of all time and the winner of 18 consecutive races during an astonishing period of unbroken success, has died aged 23.
After being switched back to hurdles following his final-fence exit in the 2008 Hennessy Gold Cup, the enigmatic public favourite became the champion against whom all long-distance hurdlers are measured.
Big Buck's became the first horse ever to win four runnings of what is now the Stayers' Hurdle, powering up the Cheltenham hill under Ruby Walsh to the sound of rapturous acclaim from 2009 to 2012. He also carried the colours of Andy Stewart and his family to four wins in the Liverpool Hurdle and three triumphs in the Long Walk Hurdle, invariably hitting a flat spot before ruthlessly dismissing top-class opposition.
Nicky Henderson is "less and less optimistic" about Constitution Hill's appearance at Windsor later this month but will not be hitting the panic button, with a back-up plan already in place for his unbeaten Flat star. The trainer identified a Listed contest at Windsor for the nine-year-old on August 29, but the continued drying ground could force connections to wait another week for his reappearance, with the Group 3 September Stakes at Kempton an increasing possibility.
