Remembering Desert Orchid

Details have been announced of plans for a tribute to racing great Desert Orchid at Kempton Park, the scene of some of his greatest triumphs.

The bold-jumping grey, who won the King George VI Chase a record four times at the track, died last month aged 27.

Dessie's ashes have been buried near the course's statue of the horse.

A memorial headstone will be unveiled before a special race in his honour on Wednesday 27 December, the second day of the King George meeting.

In the world of virtual racing we had another success story last night when Hundred Reasons was placed at 20/1. Good tipping or what!!!
