    Real favourite of mine old Rupert. Hope it was quick for him.

    A brave genuine horse who was a great credit to his trainer Paul Webber and jockeys Will Kennedy and Denis O’Regan. He appeared to remain sound and ran in a number of top quality races, without reaching the highest peaks, although finishing runner up to Big Buck’s in the World Hurdle was no mean performance. He retired before deteriorating, and I hope and trust that he enjoyed his last few years. R.I.P. Time for Rupert.

    Always hoped he’d be a top performer but ended up a “nearly” horse.
    Sorry to see you go, old boy.
