Thanks for that. It's amazing how many I can picture. It's good to remember them.

Who Doctor Who.....the memories that name invokes. I can still hear Terry Wallace's voice bellowing out as "The Doctor" came rolling on home.
Thanks for the wonderful post.

Thank you.
Some great names on this list, I hope they will remain great wherever they might be right now. These past few weeks have caused heartbreak for many racing fans in the UK, The deaths of Granit Jack, Detroit City and Macs Joy touched the hearts of even the most unforgiving racing fan. I haven't been able to get into National Hunt racing since and for the first time in many years, I'm not looking forward to Cheltenham or Aintree next year. It has come to the stage where I'm just hoping every horse gets around and comes back safe, which isn't how this sport should be. I saw Granit Jack in the paddock before his great second in the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, not knowing that the next time he would appear in the same paddock he would be moments from his death  This is the final time I saw him in the flesh. Sleep well big man.
