Ascot Gold Cup winner Colour Vision will be among ten former racehorses on show at Newmarket on Saturday as part of the ever-popular Retraining of Racehorses parade.

The charity has helped numerous stars and lesser-known horses from both codes find new disciplines once retired from racing, and Colour Vision, winner of the Gold Cup in 2012 for Saeed Bin Suroor and Godolphin, is now enjoying a career showjumping.
