Rock Of Gibraltar, the first horse ever to win seven consecutive Group Ones in the northern hemisphere, has died of heart failure at the age of 23.
Winner of the Grand Criterium and the Dewhurst Stakes in the autumn of his juvenile campaign, the Aidan O'Brien-trained son of Danehill went on to enjoy an exceptional three-year-old season 20 years ago.
