'Sad day' for racing after triple tragedy at Kempton

The Lanzarote Hurdle card at Kempton Park on Saturday was marred by the death of three horses, including the Grade One-winning Kalif Du Berlais, whose loss Paul Nicholls described as “a real kick in the teeth” and a “sad day”.

Kalif Du Berlais - whose ownership group includes Sir Alex Ferguson - unseated Harry Cobden in the four-runner Coral Silviniaco Conti Chase and landed lame, with the broken shoulder he sustained proving untreatable and he was euthanised by the veterinary team.
