The omen bet of the year has just saluted. National Service won the G3 Paul de Moussac at Chantilly. His dam is Forces Sweetheart, the nickname given to Dame Vera.

The gods seemed to be with him too as the favourite, Kenway, raced up & headed him in the final furlong only for something to go amiss, possibly the saddle slipped.

Suicide is crazy.

Nobody can ever put an explanation to suicide.

The automatic question is why ?

And your answer is ? Seriously, people can come to the end of their rope, from external circumstances, but a lot of a suicides arise from chemical imbalances in the brain, drug use can contribute to that, as well as genetic predispositions. I read somewhere that substances exist, that can bring on suicidal depression in minutes, so it isn't something that is always controllable or volitional.

 Bugger the families...I feel for the poor person who was so much in pain that no-one helped them through it. You people are so ridiculously insensitive to people who have tough lives, or have mental issues...be it a chemical imbalance or just at the end of their rope. 

 Sometimes, it's those families that you are lamenting who drive the person to suicide with their care-less attitudes or ignorance. 

 what is wrong with you and Djebel? Have you no understanding of human nature at all?

Dont be so smart with your comments, blaming families.  I know families turned themselves inside out doing their best to help , and get help, for their loved one.  These families did not, and I stress , did NOT drive their loved one to suicide.  Whats wrong with you ? To say something like that ?

 whenever someone suicides, you and Djebel question why? then feel sorry for their families. Why not feel sorry for the person who was so conflicted, they killed themselves? They are the ones who are dead.
