    Sad news. Fair play to him for having a go at the Gold Cup with a horse he knew was good enough. If he had waited a year, he would not have won.

    Sympathy to his family and friends.

    Only 66.

    To win a Gold Cup, Whitbread and Hennessy with three different horses is some achievement for a small stable. Absolutely loved Coneygree.

    I’ll be cheering Mr Vango on if he goes for the Whitbread.

    RIP

    Awful news. They both were a great team and fair play to them for they way they campaigned their horses.
    I hope Mr. Vango becomes a horse to put them back on the NH map again.

    May he rest in peace.

    Very sad news, thoughts and prayers go to his family.
    A great team, and hopefully Mr Vango will do them proud, he certainly jumped beautifully at Exeter the other day, which is typical of their horses.

    I’d echo what patriot said, 3 different horses too. The Coneygree campaign was bold and magnificent.
