RIP Denman

What a horse he waas. Didn't he have a wonderful retirement, though.
I thought he looked old in the RUK documentary prior to Cheltenham. (Or Aintree, one or t'other).
 
I'm not usually sentimental but I actually shed a tear. Saw him race many times, especially at Newbury. Also lucky to see him having fun out with the Beaufort in his retirement. Such a wonderful chap.
 
Such a gorgeous horse. RIP Denman

ETA: just rewatched him winning the 2009 Hennessy Gold Cup as someone had shared it on twitter - goosebumps!

What a wonderful horse he was, and what a beautiful life he led. Watching him beat Star in the Gold Cup was one of my favourite racing memories.

RIP big lad.
 
Great horse, great memories and he had a lovely racing life and retirement. Although he was 18, which isn't that old, he had a few injuries, he had a serious infection once that needed weeks of nursing and I suppose it just caught up with him.
 
Fantastic, old fashioned type chaser.

Hopefully running free causing mayhem after being reunited with Kauto Star and Silviniaco Conti
 
One of my all time favourite racehorses - still raises goosebumps watching him power down the hill at Cheltenham on his way to Gold Cup glory.
 
One of my favourites - absolutely gorgeous horse, used to go just to see him. Very sad to hear the news and shed a few tears reading the Racing Post articles about him.
