Sad news. West Coast was a legend on the track.

mate, he was a freak over fences.

Gutted to hear this. I saw him jump at Riccarton once, what a horse.

here, such a privilege to see him run.

Ahh no, so sad. He brought so much joy to racing fans.

Never really followed steeplechase but even I knew West Coast. That says something.

RIP champ. One of the best to ever do it.

So sad, he was incredible to watch. His races got me into jumps racing.

Had to be done, poor thing. At least he went peacefully.

Zoe King2026-06-13T23:43:14.000Z

Proper legend. Will be missed but his legacy lives on.

Wish they'd put more coverage on jumps racing. These horses are athletes.

Jordan Bell2026-06-13T23:58:14.000Z

Facts. Not enough love for the jumpers.
