Papillon dies at 25

I remember the year he won very well: Mr B was snoozing on the sofa and I was trying to get him to wake up to look at the runners beforehand.

Exasperated, he opened an eye, briefly cast it over the parading equines, said 'Papillon' and promptly went back to sleep. Swine.

I'm glad he lived to such a good age and was cared for so well. (Papillon, not Mr B ...)

A good age for a TB. They don't mention if he was still in the same ownership for his long retirement - I'll bet he was - and she should have been praised for it, if so. Too many good horses 'disappear' once they are of no further use.

Papillon lived out his days with the Walsh family. He was the 2nd National winner I backed in a row because I liked the name. He lived a good life being pampered.

RIP Papillon
