Simonsig suffers fatal injury in Schloer Chase Fox Norton made a triumphant first start since joining trainer Colin Tizzard when coming out on top in Cheltenham's Shloer Chase in a race marred by the fatal injury sustained to Simonsig. The 5-2 shot came through strongly for Aidan Coleman as he stormed into the lead before the second-last fence after Special Tiara had set the pace. Simply Ned took the runner-up spot, nine lengths away, with Special Tiara the same distance away in third. Coleman said: "He's a very straightforward and uncomplicated horse. "He loves his racing. I think he'd be better on better ground again." But the sense of deflation around Cheltenham was palpable after Simonsig broke a leg and had to be put down when falling at the third fence.
