Now _this_ is a figure who deserves an RIP thread. The bastard got me first interested in horse racing when I was still wearing short trousers, and maybe if he hadn't have existed William Hill wouldn't have gotten 35% of my income over the past 10 years. Still god bless Dessie.

i remember vividly the day dessie won the gold cup, all that SNOW.

this does mean that the "i'll have a tenner on the grey one" joke when they have the parade of champions before the gold cup won't work any more...
