I will never forget the roar for Faugheen when he won the flogas at the DRF in 2020, still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand thinking about. Not ashamed to say I had a tear in my eye when he came into the winning enclosure that day. What a horse, I am so thankful and grateful I seen his last win live.
Edit: It's been clarified that he will continue to ride under Rules but has ridden in his last point-to-point, having partnered his 972nd winner in that sphere this afternoon.
Sadly Top Notch lost his life today after surgery failed on a ruptured stomach.
Tough little warrior, RIP
Was gutted to read this - I have very fond memories of him coming second in the Triumph in 2015 when I was on my stag do at the course, and always loved watching him run, what a tremendous and battling career the wee fella had. Will be greatly missed
His Supreme win for me, one of those horses you bore people with for months about how good they will be and what they'll win, was a wonderful combination of his fulfilling that promise on the biggest stage and me winning a bundle, magnificent day.
He's been the subject of much crabbing in recent seasons but he should be remembered for his 19 consecutive wins in a 4 year unbeaten stretch, almost unprecedented...
First horse I took a real affinity too(as my avatar proves), shows my recency bias admittedly but That 2016 Supreme field will take some bettering in the years ahead and he won it well !
It was a pleasure to witness him edge out Sceau Royal and Politologue in 2019. You could always rely on him to dig deep and find something else in the tank!
What a hero. Altior was one of the first NH horses I remember seeing and being wowed by. Then I was casually watching Cheltenham that year and the Supreme came around - I recognised Altior's name from when I'd seen him previously but I saw a couple of Twitter tipsters putting Min up... and I backed him instead.
