Legendary DESERT ORCHID makes it FOUR King George triumphs (1990)

Favourite horse ever. Some of those handicap wins were sensational giving lumps of weight away.

Yet always travelled like carrying 3 stone less than the other horses.

The sign in the background just after the third last, "The All Time Great" - couldn't be more appropriate. Wonderful chaser & the greatest weight carrier since Arkle & Flying Bolt.
