Farewell to racing’s leading lady Annie Power

Just how good was Annie Power? One of the many ways of assessing her brilliance is to consider the reputation of More Of That.

When he lined up in the Cheltenham Gold Cup two months ago, he was the each-way fancy of many.

This despite the fact he had fallen on his previous start in the Irish Gold Cup, finished sixth of 13 in the Lexus Chase, third of five in the Peterborough Chase and was pulled up on his first start of the season, when sent off favourite in the BetVictor Gold Cup.
