🐎 Heart-stopping moment at Cheltenham as beloved Sir Gino faces a health scare.
The fans held their breath as Sir Gino, the odds-on favourite, was pulled up during the Unibet Hurdle. The adored six-year-old, who had just returned to the track after a year off due to a serious leg infection, left enthusiasts anxious after this unexpected halt.
Trainer Nicky Henderson provided a glimmer of hope, revealing that Sir Gino made it into the horse ambulance and suspecting a pelvic injury rather than any lower limb fractures. Henderson emphasised, “Pelvic injuries can vary greatly, so we’re keeping everything crossed for him tonight.”
The Jockey Club issued a reassuring statement confirming that Sir Gino was assessed on course and safely transported for further checks.
Let’s send good vibes to this remarkable horse, who has captured the hearts of racing fans everywhere. 🙏💪
Stay tuned for more updates and let’s hope Sir Gino recovers swiftly! 🐴❤️ #Cheltenham #SirGino #HorseRacing #GetWellSoon
