    I spent Friday morning reviewing Istabraq’s races on You Tube. I was privileged to have been at Chelters for all 5 of his Festival runs. I’m glad I did, as ITV devoted all of 60 seconds to him on both the Opening Show and the main afternoon races yesterday ….!

    I’ll never forget the sight of C Swan’s white cap steadily carving through the field from the top of the hill and then leaving them all for dead from two out. He was deadly. Rest in Peace old friend.

    I’m fairly sure Hors La Loi III passed away about ten years ago at the age of 19, but the only Facebook post about it is no longer up.

    EnniskeaneFlame is correct. Hors La Loi III died in 2014.
