Quote: “Remittance Man, the champion two-mile chaser in 1992, could be inconsolable unless his favourite sheep, Nobby, was beside him. When they pulled another sheep out of the pen by mistake and placed it beside Remittance Man, the horse killed it on the spot.”
Willie Wumpkins - a grand old horse who won the Coral Golden Hurdle Final (now the Pertemps Final) at the Cheltenham Festival 3 times on the trot from 1979 - 1981.
He was 13 when winning the race for the third time.
