Emmm Yeats!
Certainly one of the most likeable but the best since Ardross?Quote:

Best English trained stayer since Ardross. As a pre-teen, I can remember marvelling at the fact that a stayer could finish in the frame in the arc, but then Westerner and Order of St George did it.
Ardross was a fabulous horse - loved him loved him loved him. Cried when he was beaten in the Arc, and remembering Lester said it was all his fault.
