I have always loved watching this video... It was the season who gave me so many winners and saw so many beautiful horses at the festival.. but now It makes me so sad....Steeple chasing has It's dangers we all know that, but over several years you can become very attached when you see them time after time In the paddock.
This video for me holds the greatest steeple chasers we were privaliged to see but racing has seen a very cruel few years.
We have lost, due to Injury,
Imperial Commander..... burst blood vessel and rear hind Injury.
Masterminded......... Injured In last years King George never to recover, now retired
Tricky Trickster........ broke his neck at Uttoxeter.... still recovering.
Dunguib...... continual Injuries
Kauto Star....... retired, old age
Denman .......... retired, old age
Garde Champetre...... broke down and died on Cheltenham race course
Exotic Dancer...........Fatal heart attack In his box stall at Aintree
Go Native......... killed In training this week
Witicha Lineman..... broke his neck and died In the Irish Grand National
