SANTOFT BROKEN DOWN
Santoft, winner of the Wellington Steeplechase in 1937, is unlikely to be seen out at all this winter, as he broke down during a schooling task with Nightbound at Washdyke last Saturday.
Trained by F. Trilford for Messrs. W. H. and W. D. Orbell, Santoft is a splendid jumper, but an unsound one, and many of his preparations have been interrupted. He has not raced since August twelve months ago, when he finished out of a place in the Grand National and was the runnerup to Erination in the Lincoln Steeplechase. Had he been a sound horse, he would have made a great name for himself.
