    Looked a bad one, the only downside to racing that I hate. Very popular horse.

    Sad for all connections but especially London Prize no doubt made worse for them by the fact it was a change of plan and Ian Williams originally ruled it out after the Elite Hurdle .

    Flemenstar retired, didn't quite fulfill the promised potential but his novice and second season chasing career was an exciting time, that Lexus was one of the great races and what a jumper of a fence he was too, Good times

    Ah bless me dear heart. In his 18 months of fame he captured the publics heart like Danoli did.

    out in one piece anyway. Him, cue card and Sprinter. Nice era indeed

    Many happy memories
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
