Stable must be devastated; Lucinda spoke so eloquently about him when interviewed a few weeks ago. The horse had such a future. Condolences to all concerned.

RIP Brindisi Breeze.

Sounds like a horrible accident.

Thoughts to connections, and hope the driver of the tanker is ok.

I was shocked when I read this sad news.

That's three horses who won on the final day of this year's Cheltenham Festival already gone - Synchronised, Bellvano and now Brindisi Breeze. RIP

We have had few if any performers potentially as good as Brindisi Breeze in Scotland in recent times. It's sad to lose any horse to such a horrible accident, but even more so with one for whom the sky seemed the limit.
Scant consolation, but his Cheltenham performance remains a fitting memorial.

R.I.P. a star whose light shone briefly but oh so brightly.

Just home after 2 weeks away and so sad to read through the memorials of horses that have passed away in this short time.RIP to all of them and in particular a real shock to hear of the tragic accident that has now claimed Brindisi Breeze RIP

A sad statistic of the Cheltenham Festival pointed out by Jane of Herts that sends a chill down the heart of NH racing with the loss of 3 brave servants Synchronised, Bellvano and Brindisi Breeze. Very hard to come to terms with but your memories will live on.

I too have just returned home to what seems a pretty bad list considering there has not been much jump racing in my absence. Goes to show it's not just when they're running you have to worry about them. You hardly dare take your eye off these beautiful crazy creatures wherever they are.

What a horrible end to what he probably thought was going to be a great midnight adventure, and how unlucky to run into a tanker at a time when roads are normally pretty empty. Silly, lovely, tragic boy.

RIP Brindisi Breeze and RIP to all the others who have lost their lives in the past 2 weeks

Just heard that Campbell Gillies has died in an accident on Corfu, a day short of his 22nd birthday. R.I.P. both

When I heard this terrible news my first thought was of the comment made by Jane about the last day of the Festival. Horse and rider with the world at their feet; both so young and talented. My heart goes out to his family.
