What an awful day....RIP Mick

Post by Brian Chunn »

What a day ,log onto the sim to check my results ok a couple of stakes winners,check messages Horse Alert my best horse Saratoga Suzie (awm) 3 runs 3 stakes wins permanently injured ok my fault forgot to insure her,ask bloodstock agent formidable argghh.Considering it is a game I was quite angry with myself over this and the sim for said accident. Fast forward to this evening I get told one of my oldest friends has taken his life,he sent me a message 2 weeks back asking how I was just checking I was ok, now a lot of you on here will have seen him, he looked after Kingsman and Golden Horn during their respective racing careers,who can forget his exuberant celebrations leading Golden Horn in after his Derby win...RIP Mick please stay safe people and ask for help if you are feeling low.

I’m so sorry Brian, what a terrible loss. I wish there was something I could say or do to make it easier for you but my thoughts and prayers are with you, and Mick’s family.
