Sprinter Sacre's 2016 Champion Chase success generated a level of
bedlam previously unseen at the Cheltenham Festival.His matchless
redemptive story reaching its heady climax as racing's public
seemingly willed the impossible, possible. Legendary status was
already assured yet it was Sprinter Sacre's return from the brink,
his battle with adversity that has taken this horse of the ages
into such rarefied territory.Drawing on the unique resources of the
Racing Post, including many previously unseen photos, an
extraordinary tale is told of a racehorse whose incredible looks
are, for once, matched by his achievements. Introduced to fences in
2011, he soon built an aura of invincibility that all presumed
would last for years to come, but, in December 2013 that
spectacularly vanished as the tribulation of atrial fibrillation
reared its head.While he battled through, his greatest moments were
in his past. Despite the patience and expertise of trainer Nicky
Henderson and vet Celia Marr, whose ultrasound and ECG readings are
here to see, the spark of brilliance had fizzled out.Then in late
2015 that spark flickered into life before setting the sporting
world alight as his story reached its most epic crescendo.
