Champion horse Galopin Des Champs dies aged 10 less than a week after retirement

Champion horse Galopin Des Champs, a dual-Cheltenham Gold Cup winner trained by Willie Mullins, was euthanized less than a week after retiring due to an unrecoverable injury sustained in his field. Owned by Greg and Audrey Turley, the 10-year-old gelding was set to begin a new eventing career under the care of former jockey Ruby Walsh and his daughter Isabelle. Vets determined that an injury to Galopin’s near front leg was too severe to repair, leading to the difficult decision to put him down. The horse had a successful racing career, winning 15 out of 26 races, including multiple Grade One victories. His passing has left many in the racing community deeply saddened.
