About this deal

Kohaku, the Aintree and Cheltenham Foxhunters are now dominated by professionally trained horses only here in the short term - look at last years winners! The Irish were out of luck at both Cheltenham and Aintree, with Burning Ambition getting closest at Liverpool, having to settle for second despite looking the likely winner approaching the famous elbow. Another second was followed by a lesser effort when Grittar pulled up, and Gilman turned to the rider's father. His final season proved to be 1985, when, as a 13-year-old, he triumphed under Diana in Stratford's John and Nigel Thorne Memorial, a race which in hindsight would have been the perfect farewell. Willie Mullins' charge inflicted a second narrow defeat on a David Christie runner when beating Vaucelet in the Punchestown Champion Hunter Chase.

Conceding weight he made a promising start when third and then second in handicap chases at Leicester and Ascot, was then switched back to hunter chasing for victory in a three-runner jog around at Leicester and then took his place in Cheltenham's feature race. Instead, the temptation of another Cheltenham Foxhunter Chase was taken, and while Spartan Missile gave Diana a fine ride and carried her into sixth place behind the Alan Hill-ridden Elmboy he finished lame.Dick's debut, at an end-of-season Garthorpe meeting resulted in victory in a five-runner confined race which Grittar won by a distance. The authority of his wins and effortless jumping and galloping when in his prime, as much as his big-race triumphs and valiant efforts in the Gold Cup and Grand National, mark him out as the strongest candidate to be regarded as the greatest hunter chaser. Mullins has transformed Its On The Line from a maiden hunter chase winner at five to reach the top of the tree at six. A fantastic performer who is in a different world," said the authors in summing up a season in which Spartan Missile won hunters' chases at Sandown (twice), Warwick, Leicester, the Cheltenham Foxhunter Chase in which he reeled in the front-running and highly-talented Queensberry Lad and toyed with him before cruising away to win by 12 lengths, and then onto Aintree for a second Foxhunters' Chase. Thorne owned both sire and dam, standing Spartan General at his Chesterton Stud and having ridden Polaris Missile to victory in Cheltenham's four-mile National Hunt Chase in 1966.
