Three-time Festival winner Vautour put down after freak accident

Three-time Cheltenham Festival winner Vautour has been put down after breaking his leg in a freak accident.

The Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old won the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in 2014 and the JLT Novices' Chase 12 months later before running out a dominant winner of the Ryanair Chase on his return to Prestbury Park last March.
