Kemboy absolutely bolts up in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown, looks a Gold Cup horse for sure.

 

Shame to see that horror fall for Disko who sadly passed away.

 

I think Faugheen should be retired, he has nothing left to prove, the 2015 Champion Hurdle winner.

The novice hurdle at Haydock on Sunday was declared void on safety grounds as it was deemed the runners were short of room following a fatal injury to the Emma Lavelle-trained Not Normal.

 

The injury occured when Not Normal jumped the first flight in the eight-runner 1m7½f contest and he was still be attending to some 50 yards after the hurdle as the field entered the home straight for the second and final time.

 

As Richard Johnson approached what should have been the third-last flight aboard leader Keep Rolling, the yellow flag was waved by a course official to indicate a serious incident and the race was voided.

Enable hadn't run for 342 days when she made a winning return at Kempton in September - but what she was about to do was incredible.

 

A stunning defence of her Arc crown was followed up by a memorable Breeders' Cup Turf win.

 

In 2018, she cemented her place as one of the greats.
