💔 Gutted to hear that GALOPIN DES CHAMPS is sadly no longer with us after sustaining an injury in the field.
👎 Having been retired just a short while ago, it's so, so cruel that this equine legend won't get a long and happy retirement.
🕊 Sleep well, big man.

Rest easy champ 😢
We have very sadly lost the battle to overcome Sir Gino’s ailment and he has had to be put to sleep at the veterinary hospital this morning.
He has been fighting from severe deep-seated infections that he had overcome last year prior to his brilliant return in the Christmas Hurdle but this time it had spread too far although his fractured pelvis was healing well.
He was not only brilliant but one of the nicest kindest horses you could ever wish to see and this leaves an awful hole in Seven Barrows this morning and a very sad day for Joe & Marie Donnelly. They have had some wonderful horses over the years and they both care so much for them so losing such a young star with his life in front of him is particularly cruel.
Sir Gino was unbeaten in all his 7 starts including 3 Grade 1’s over hurdles and an amazing display in a Grade 2 Chase on his one and only start over fences.
We would have to say that he was just at least as good as any of all the amazing horses we have been lucky enough to have trained. Unforgettable in every way.

The Envoi Allen news is completely crushing.
So unbelievably sad.
An incredible horse, loved by many.
Rest easy, Envoi.
