Twist Magic killed in the Peterborough There was a sad conclusion to the totesport.com Peterborough Chase won by Tartak as Paul Nicholls' multiple Grade One winner Twist Magic lost his life in the Newbury Grade Two. Twist Magic was still in front when he fell at the second last, and although he managed to gallop past the line, he had sustained irreparable damage. Nicholls' Breedsbreeze made a bold bid for home but he could not stop the finish of Tartak (11-4), who won by half a length. Nicholls said: "He has fractured a pastern and we've lost him. He's been a great horse and it's always sad when it happens. " Tartak's trainer Tom George said: "We've had a bit of luck today but he deserves to win a big one. "We might well go for the Ryanair Chase, and the three-miler at Aintree will be his main target."
