Surprised Jonathan Jay’s name has not been brought up as yet. Tidal Fury’s campaigning in French jumps races was, if I remember correctly, originally predicated on the fact the gelding wouldn’t enter stalls over here, but his effectiveness on easy or slower going became at least as much of a reason to persevere. And how!
I presume he’s still trying to repeat the feat with other animals now and then, though an attempt to do so with Tidal Fury’s half-brother Stoneacre Gareth quickly came to nought.

David Pipe tried it with Soliya in the big 3yo Fillies Hurdle race the Prix Bournosienne (G3) at the International Jumps weekend at Auteuil but she got very tired and faded badly in the straight. You’ll see form from that race represented quite a bit in the next couple of years with the past two winners now in training in the UK (Sway and Stravinsky Dance).
