Wonderful horse. His Gold Cup was fabulous to watch.

Top horse, though this race is one Ill choose to forget. Might Bite not getting up the hill still hurts me.

I think that race 'finished' Might Bite...broke his heart as it were.

A lovely essay covering that race.

The Eddie Harty stable has announced on Twitter that they lost Killfenora after the Pertemps at Leopardstown today.

Sayce Gold lost today.

Sorry for both sets of connections; they need all the decent horses they have.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Too bad for both stables.

What happened to her DG?

Check out the forum horse connections thread. She had a nasty fall the other day. Poor girl.

Good to see the old boy getting out in one piece.

He was seriously flattered by his last Aintree win and the handicapper put him up far too high. He's had no chance since.

Some horse. Had him backed at 125/1 in his first National. We lived the dream till the Bechers on the second circuit, was obvious he wasn’t getting home from then. Recouped the losses and then some on the Becher Chase the following season.

Fell at its last 2 visits to Aintree, so good news he’s out in one piece.

In his first year at Pipe's David Noonan was asked what young horse impressed him.
Vieux Lion Rouge was his answer.
Martin Pipe asked him why he picked that horse over the rest.
David replied there was something about the horse he liked, namely the ease with which he did everything .
Not a bad judge.

I’ve been waiting on that being confirmed since the Hennessy decs, and his absence from the Gold Cup entries pretty-much nailed it yesterday.
