Desert Orchid

[drinkfeckarse]

The legend that is Desert Orchid passed away peacefully this morning. A horse that personified spirit and courage, his ashes will be scattered next to his statue at Kempton.

A sad day for racing.

A sad day yes, but not tragic like the demise of Best Mate. Desert Orchid was a fantastic horse. Richard Dunwoody and Dessie, what a team.

A truly beautiful horse that gave so many memories. A dignified end to an amazing life. Loved by all. Rest in Peace.

Some Star horses come across as personalities in their own right. Dessie was one of those RIP.
