Racing legend Desert Orchid dies
Legendary racehorse Desert Orchid has died at the age of 27.
The gallant grey achieved iconic status within National Hunt racing, where he was much loved by supporters for his iron will and extreme versatility.
He won 34 races in total, including the Cheltenham Gold Cup and seven at his beloved Kempton, where he won the King George VI Chase a record four times.
Former trainer David Elsworth said the horse, nicknamed "Dessie", died peacefully in his stable on Monday.
