There were heartbreaking scenes at Royal Ascot on day two as the magnificent horse, Harry's Girl, tragically died in the first race. The two-year-old filly, trained by Richard Hannon, suffered a severe leg injury during the Queen Mary sprint with jockey Sean Levey.

ITV Racing presenter Ed Chamberlin described the incident as 'horrible' and it overshadowed the victory of Aidan O'Brien's True Love in the race. Harry's Girl, who was part-owned by the trainer and Harry Kane's former agent Will Salthouse, was a favorite at Hannon's Marlborough yard.

Before the race, Hannon had high hopes for Harry's Girl, praising her performance in previous races and expressing confidence in her abilities. Despite her promising start to the season, the filly tragically passed away during the Royal Ascot Group 2 race, leaving many devastated by the loss.

Our thoughts are with the connections and everyone affected by this tragic event.
