Marie's Rock, the first horse owned by Middleham Park Racing to win more than once at the highest level, has been retired.

Trained by Nicky Henderson, the nine-year-old scaled the heights in the spring of 2022, winning the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham and the equivalent at the Punchestown Festival.
