This year's jumps racing season will be without one of its stars after the death of Monarch Chimes.
Monarch Chimes went amiss on the flat with 800 metres remaining in his 2800-metre steeplechase trial at Cranbourne in Victoria last Friday and had to be put down.
Monarch Chimes was trained by the Cambridge-based partnership of Emma-Lee and David Browne, who have been left 'devastated' by the accident.
"The track was perfect and he was the soundest horse I have ever worked with, it was just an unfortunate accident," the Brownes posted on their social media accounts on Monday.
"There are so many memories and he will never be forgotten.
