Brocklesby Bill Caught by Dog Walker After Escaping Salisbury Stalls

Trainer questions Salisbury's response to the escape.

Overview

  • The two-year-old bolted before the second division of the 7f novice, jumped the railings and ran nearly three miles through brambles, fields and woodland.
  • Jockey Ben Ffrench Davis, Ryan Turner and vet Martin Peaty tried to catch him before a dog walker stopped him on a footpath.
  • Trainer Kathy Turner says the colt is uninjured and has criticized limited on-course assistance at the start.
  • She also questioned the adequacy of perimeter railing designed to keep loose horses on the track.
  • Owners were distressed by spectators filming the chase, and no formal response from Salisbury officials was reported.
