- December Second put down after fall at Newcastle
- Victor Ludorum wins French 2,000 Guineas at Deauville
Two leading jockeys walked away from high-speed falls in a race at Newcastle on Monday afternoon as the first day of racing in Britain since mid-March was marred by a fatal injury to a horse in the same incident after December Second apparently clipped the heels of another runner.
The 12 runners in the mile-and-a-half race were quickening up with around two furlongs to run when December Second, with PJ McDonald riding, crashed out in the middle of the field and brought down Financial Conduct, the mount of Jim Crowley.
