DONCASTER RACECOURSE MONDAY FEBRUARY 4th.
 
David Carr  "On how fans who came to see stars were stunned into silence."
"One moment and the magic had vanished ... Some game, isn't it, Henderson said through his tears ... As tributes flow in...
 
"For the second time in ten months champion owner JP McManus and champion jockey Tony McCoy were left united in grief after the loss of  star horses, killed on the racecourse.
 
"Last April their Betfred Cheltenham  Gold Cup winner SYNCHRONISED lost his life in the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree, suffering fatal injuries when running  loose after falling at Becher's Brook.

 
"Yesterday their Stan James Champion Hurdle second favourite DARLAN was throwing down a strong challenge in the 32Red Hurdle at Doncaster, only to fall at the final flight. He was killed instantly."
 
"A distraught McCoy gave up his remaining rides, while DARLIN'S trainer Nicky Henderson was in tears "He didn't deserve that, why is it always the good ones?  Some game isn't it?"
 
 "IT HAD all looked so good beforehand. A real Magic Monday in prospect. These were proper Saturday horses. ROCK ON RUBY, DARLAN, COUNTRYWIDE FLAME. Winners of the Champion Hurdle, Christmas Hurdle and Fighting Fifth Hurdle.
 
"Used to competing for big weekend prizes, performing for a terrestrial television audience of millions, glad-handed afterwards by Channel 4's Clare Balding or Nick Luck."
