    I am really pleased to hear that he has been allowed to bow out gracefully and in one piece.
    A thoroughly likeable horse who was as brave as anything. Saw him win at Sandown in February I think it was, and even after all his hard races, be really tried his best all the way to the line.
    I hope he has a happy and healthy retirement. Well done to the connections

    I would like to record that I hate Monkerhostin like I’ve never hated another horse. Ever. Period.

    Reason?

    2004 Coral Cup- I was on Court Shareef at 200-1. From that day to this, I’ve had a Ouija Doll named Monkerhostin.

    Joking aside- super horse, well deserved retirement.

    I’ll tell you someone else that’ll be glad to see the back of him; the Scoop6 ticket holder back in February who had Exmoor Ranger & got caught by Monkerhostin in the final stride!

    An excellent horse who I wish a long & happy retirement.

    One of my favourite ever horses, a cracking horse, he’ll be sorely missed. Having said that, very happy to see him retire safe and sound.

    He’s given lots of pleasure in his time. Let’s hope he enjoys the rest of his life.

    The coral cup win was my biggest ever :)

    But thats not the point. a wonderfully game and versatile horse and a perfect example of why many people are more drawn towards NH rather than the cold world of flat racing

    Long and happy retirement to him.

    Just watching ATR just now and they showed footage of him beating Kauto Star at Exeter some years back. What surprised mye was that Best Mate was also in the line up (sadly, his final race). Best Mate Vs Kauto Star – it did happen.

    Here’s one for anyone with not a lot on today.

    What’s the shortest collateral form line between Imperial Commander and Arkle?
