Sizing Europe ‘the horse of a lifetime’

Henry de Bromhead hailed Sizing Europe as the “horse of a lifetime” after bringing the curtain down on the brilliant chaser’s stellar career.

The 13-year-old won eight Grade One events as he graced the jumping scene for over nine years, including successive triumphs at the Cheltenham Festival in the 2010 Arkle Trophy and 2011 Queen Mother Champion Chase.

Sizing Europe also filled the runner-up spot in the Champion Chase at Prestbury Park twice, while other notable victories included two wins in the Punchestown Champion Chase, success in the 2011 Tingle Creek at Sandown and a stunning display in the 2008 Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown.
