Not wanting to cast any aspersions on what may have been a completely well mannered horse but didn’t Challenger Du Luc win at the festival before becoming a tad more temperamental? He’s the only one I can think of without using google
Challenger Du Luc may very well have shown signs of a dubious temperament, aaronizneez, but I cannot find any murder convictions beside his otherwise good name. Therefore, incorrect.

I’d say Arkle
Yes
, rumour has it he killed off Mill House. 
But no, the great one wouldn’t have harmed a fly – so, incorrect.

Bula was a character but he was unquestionably, rather than arguably more talented than Nobby’s pal. I know See You Then was something of a head the ball… Was it him?

The "killer" question has got you all stumped it would seem – so, unless someone comes up with the correct answer by 00.01 hours, Monday, 31 March, 2014, then I shall give you the answer.
I really do hope someone gets the… <aherm> killer, so to speak.
A little bit of online detective work should ( maybe ) help solve the problem. The horse in question is well known to most, if not all , racing enthusiasts. Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
Sorry Moehat – still no, sorry !
Think equine psychopath rather than bad tempered or mad.

Thought not. I’ve read plenty on Flyingbolt but never anything about being nasty to other horses
. Not Dynaformer is it?? Nope; didn’t run at Cheltenham

No, not Dynaformer either.
Flyingbolt was a a bit of a psycho who’d lash out at both human and horse, but that’s as far as it went.I am going to give you a big, BIg clue, Moehat ( and anyone else reading this ).
here it is : Champion Hurdler !

You don’t mean Hurricane Fly? He looks mean
. If he was a human I wouldn’t start an arguement with him….
No, Moehat, neither of them is the guilty party
We approach the deadline for the answer to be revealed.
Therefore, one last gigantic clue, as I really want someone to come up with the correct answer. So I will give it to you on a plate.
The horse has the distinction of being the shortest priced winner of the Champion Hurdle.
Come on…

Would never have guessed that [cheated and googled it]. Only thing I did know about that horse was that he died out hunting one day.
Time for the big reveal, although I believe moehat now knows the name of the horse.
The culprit was of course… < drum roll > … triple champion hurdle winner of the 1950s, Sir Ken.
Who’d have thunk, eh ?

I was closest because I suggested a triple champion hurdle winner

He has that Fedor Emelianenko, cold vacant look about him doesn’t he? No wonder he held such an impressive win streak. His opponents must have been scared stiff of getting anywhere near him!
, rumour has it he killed off Mill House.
