    Desert Orchid

    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.
    Resign, now!

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