I know I dont belong in this thread, sorry for the intrusion, but just wanted to help clear up the confusion.

Jockey Danny Nikolic knew Mummify was in trouble when he heard a sound like a "cannon shot" as he was pulling up the six-year-old after his brave third to Railings and Eye Popper.
"It was about a furlong after the post," Nikolic said.
"The horse was that stuffed after giving all he had, then I heard what sounded like a cannon shot … I pulled him up after 50 yards."
"He snapped his leg. I jumped straight off him and it's just shocking, terrible," Nikolic said.
