ONLY FALL FATAL
GREAT STEEPLECHASER’S DEATH. THREE AINTREES WITHOUT FAULT. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright London, Jan. 27. The hurdle horse Forbra, winner of the 1932 Grand National, who was awarded 10.12, fifth top weight, in this year’s event, was running third in a steeplechase at Newbury when he stumbled on landing at the last fence and broke a fetlock. He was destroyed. Forbra is believed to be the only jumper that had never previously fallen in a race. Three times he jumped the Grand National course faultlessly, a feat which Golden Miller, last year's winner, has not achieved.
