Decent, genuine horse who finished third in the 2013 Aintree National, having won the 2012 National Hunt four miler at the Cheltenham Festival under the late great JT McNamara. He retired seven years ago today at the age of 11, as his connections didn’t want to risk serious injury. Rebecca Curtis comes across as a trainer who looks after her horses; their welfare and contentment is paramount. Glad Teaforthree had a reasonable length of retirement.
