Horses you never forgave and couldn’t like

I loved Harchibald, even though he did have a permanent cob on...

That’s borderline corny...

I always think bridle ponces like Harchibald unfairly get a bad name. Harchibald might be a bad example as perhaps he just didn't like to go past the one in front of him. But surely a horse that finds nothing off the bridle is a horse that's been giving his all of his own accord and has nothing left to give ? A horse who keeps finding for pressure though is somehow talked about as being brave where as isn't he just a lazy sod keeping plenty for himself ?

Silver Birch (myself to blame) winning the National was horrendous financially.

Not sure I'm over Maljimar yet either!

Secreto -for beating El Gran Senor and absolutely destroying my summer holidays.

Ditto this. Still one that irks.

Dawn Run for the first mare’s allowance and catching dear Wayward Lad up the hill.

I think those desperately hard races in the Cheltenham and Punchestown Gold Cups broke Bravemansgame.
