Denman retired: December 2011

Dec 11

Denman’s career was total quality from start to finish. I was thrilled when he won the Gold Cup, but I believe that race left its mark and after his subsequent tumble at Aintree couldn’t watch him live anymore. I have a friend who hid in the ladies at Newbury to listen to the live commentary when he was going for another Hennessy. He is just that kind of a horse.

Thank you for yourself Denman.

    No horse had won with 12st or more since Mill House and Arkle, and it was right that he was bracketed with those legends of jump racing.
