Today we lost the big chestnut at the grand age of 27yo.
He was the horse who changed our Great Race forever on a wet 1st Tuesday.
We owe him a great debt

Was sitting next to the owners manager/advisor on the train back from Royal Ascot on Gold Cup day. He actually gave the post race speech following that win. Will be a sombre day for all involved.

Backed Drum Taps that year but quickly learned who D K Weld was.
The way he quickened out of the pack was a fantastic sight,arguably should have won again to go with his
2 St Legers
