Il Etait Temps is ok after a fall at Ascot on Saturday
Owen and Devin Heffer and the rest of the passionate Hollywood Racing team suffered an awful ten minutes last Saturday together with joint owners The Kieswetter family after an unusually lacklustre performance by their star six-time Gr 1 winning chaser Il Etait Temps ended in a tired fall at the second last jump.
The screens came up as a precaution around the stricken horse and remained up for some ten minutes, but it turned out he was just winded and he had soon stood up and was walked off the course.
Cheltenham is looming and the team will put the horse’s welfare before any race engagement, but hopefully he will be ready for his likely target, the Queen Mother Chase.
