Racing: Heart threat to Waterloo
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WATERLOO BOY, one of the best two-mile chasers, will continue his career despite a disorder of the heart which may have been responsible for his poor run behind Travado at Exeter on Tuesday. The 10-year-old was pulled up then and David Nicholson, his trainer, said yesterday that the gelding is suffering from a fibrillating heart. This twitching of the wall of the heart interferes with the organ's normal rhythmical contractions. 'It basically means that the heart is out of synch,' the trainer said. 'Sometimes it goes back of its own accord. Another of my horses, Tug Of Gold, suffered from it.'
