'What a horse' - the best social media reaction to Altior's retirement
Altior, one of jump racing's star performers in the last decade, has been retired after Nicky Henderson announced the decision on Monday. Tributes have poured in for the ten-time Grade 1 winner who won back-to-back renewals of the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in 2018 and 2019.
The 11-year-old star two-miler will be enjoying his retirement at the home of Mick Fitzgerald, who was one of many to pay tribute to Patricia Pugh's stalwart on social media on Monday.
