Doclkands Express has died.....

[Alec Swan]

The passing of a grand horse. I'm not certain of this, but so I understand he cost £600, or there abouts.

He won the The Racing Post Chase, twice in '91 &'92. The Whitbread Gold Cup. He finished 4th. in the 92 Grand National and 3rd. in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. When he retired, he went off hunting.

Sad, of course, but what a life, and what a horse.

Alec.

totally agree, grand horse

Was a fantastic horse. It's lovely to hear that he had a long life after racing.

RIP old man.

I am so sad. He was a great old horse, a careful jumper and a sweetheart.
