Top Gamble has retired at the age of 12 - just a week after winning the final race of his illustrious career.
Trainer Kerry Lee says Top Gamble is set to become her stable hack.
Here's what she wrote on twitter:
Top Gamble was a staying-on third in the 2018 Grand Annual just over four lengths behind Le Prezien - and he was a fast finishing fourth in the previous year's Champion Chase, six lengths behind Special Tiara.
He earned nearly 200k in prize-money and won 9 of his 39 starts - getting a rating of 154 over fences with victories which included the Game Spirit Chase.

Never knew Master Dino had died until a tweet this morning from ATR. Thought it was a mistake but then found this tweet from the end of November. Very sad.

It's two years today since his win at Plumpton, I remember he was a bit of a forum horse at the time and this performance was very exciting. RIP Master Dino.

Just found out Stay Humble died today.
I loved Stay Humble... was a really speculative Bumper ante post bet one season and he came out and was absolutely pants
The other three in the bet were ridiculopus shorteners and I was gutted he didn't make the boat. Fancied him for the AB the year after, also pants.... but a cliff horse, and they're the ones that make the sport so exciting.
RIP Stay Humble, I will try to

Loved Yorkhill for so long.... long term members will know he landed me my biggest ever return at the time in ther JLT, with what hindsight shows, was an unreal ride and a weak race!
Gave so much money back on him over the years though and then landed a 40/1 punt (SP 66/1) on here on his last start not that long ago (my case for him was essentially, he's a cliff horse)
One of my all time favourites because of that, a horse with so much talent, he was genuinely discussed as a Champion Hurdle and Gold Cup contender after he won the Neptune.
Cheers for the laughs Yorkhill.
