Name the horse who, while the bluest of blood flowed through his veins, became an immortal of the turf, by hurdling his way into history.  Winning 23 of 29 hurdles, the Racing Post said, "He exchanged greatness for immortality."

Isn't there just one Racing Hall of Fame?

It's not Ben Nevis, that I know.  He was bred in GB but named for a mountain range in GB.  However, he did like chewing tobacco.   :lmao:
