This is what you call class. Nobody will be hurting like he is over this. Takes guts to write, but I shouldn’t be surprised as this is the measure of the man.
Thank you to all the messages about Goshen yesterday, who was running like something not normal. From the bottom of my heart I’m genuinely so sorry to everyone I let down I really am,it’s been so tough to take but it’s happened, I hope he gets to show how special he is. Thanks

This Paul Townend stuff is getting nasty now. He made a mistake, I firmly believe something made him doubt he had to jump the fence, why else would he take that action. He realised all too late what he had done.

This man is all class. He is one of the best ambassadors our sport has.
