Although Denman approached his 12th year and was heading for retirement, there was another year In him and he was In training for the Lexus Chase In Ireland this month an The Gold Cup In March.
An Injury In training has brought about Immediate retirement.
What can I say ? I would loved to be In his presence just once more at Cheltenham before he bowed out.
The racehorse known as ' The Tank' ends an era of racing and we will never see the like again.
