The New One retired after being pulled up in International Hurdle
The New One, winner of 20 of his 40 starts and more than £1 million in prize-money, has been retired after being pulled up in the International Hurdle behind Brain Power at Cheltenham on Saturday.
The ten-year-old, a three-time winner of the International Hurdle himself, was pulled up before the final hurdle by regular partner Sam Twiston-Davies.
A four-length winner of the Neptune Investment Novices' Hurdle in 2013, The New One added the Aintree Hurdle in 2014 – beating Champion Hurdle winner Rock On Ruby – to his glittering CV.
Trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies said of his stable star: "It's a very sad day. He just hasn't got the legs at the end anymore. He was a great help in getting Sam going and has been the most wonderful horse. He's part of the family."
