Quote:
Leading Cheltenham Champion Hurdle fancy Darlan suffered a fatal fall while competing in Monday's trial race at Doncaster.
The six-year-old, who was ridden by champion jockey Tony McCoy, fell heavily at the last hurdle and suffered a broken neck.
At the time he had been putting down a strong challenge to last year's Champion Hurdle winner Rock On Ruby.
