Improvers of the breed and sports fans everywhere were saddened and impressed with the news out of Britain that a ten year old horse collapsed and died after winning his last race. It was a grueling steeplechase contest of 3+ miles over 21 fences and he was also the winner of the Grand National at Aintree outside of Liverpool in 2015. Of interest, steeplechase jockeys are much heavier than those on U.S. tracks. "Many Clouds" was undoubtedly a gelding so he leaves no progeny behind to succeed him. He gave his all for the two quid bettor.
