Arkle remains Supreme

Despite the vain attempts of certain parties to state otherwise,Arkle remains Supreme as the greatest steeplechaser ever seen and whose like has never been seen since.

As later results proved,only a premature end to his career with a cracked pedal bone aged 9 prevented him from winning SIX Cheltenham Gold Cups and he is the only racehorse to have a race named in his honour at the Festival itself and that is most unlikely to ever change.

One horse who could emerge as the greatest English steeplechaser since Mill House is Sprinter Sacre and everyone will be monitoring his relentless progress over the next few seasons...he already has the nickname "Black Aeroplane" !
