Knight: We will miss Best Mate so much

Henrietta Knight paid tribute to the horse that “put my stable on the map” after triple Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Best Mate tragically collapsed and died of a suspected heart attack at Exeter yesterday.

Paul Carberry was aboard the 10-year-old in the William Hill Haldon Gold Cup and while the pair travelled smoothly during the first half of the race, he started to nudge along as the leaders moved clear.
