Good to know he had such a great retirement and was around with the people who cared for him his entire life.

Ran 8 times over the big Aintree obstacles, including in 4 consecutive Nationals. Very easy to follow, being a chestnut with a big white blaze with his jockey wearing green, with white spotted Mould silks, although on 3 occasions he finished without his rider, which didn’t seem to daunt him. He often seemed to keep Amberleigh House company. Never placed again after his 2002 triumph, but he completed in 2 more Nationals. Had a fabulous long retirement in the stables he loved, and they will certainly miss him.
