100 percent the best there has ever been just look at the injury he had but yet still came back as good there is not 1 horse out there that could of done what sprintre done absolute champion
This boy was sent from the gods, nothing will get close to him for a long time, and even when they do, they won't have the emotional impact that sprinter did ❤
Along with Frankel, probably the only horse in my lifetime that on his day was racing in a league of his own, another level. Whilst all the best champions have the form and the honors list, there are very few that leave you speechless.
That was the word I was thinking of! The only two In my mind that when they went to "win a race" it was over in a matter of seconds, regardless of opposition, because there wasn't any that could even compete. That level of brilliance!
The horse of a lifetime the likes of which we will never see again. Ive watched NH racing all my life and there is no other horse that could compare to SS, what a privilege it has been to witness his achievements.
I have never in all my years going and watching racing been so emotionally involved with a racehorse as with sprinter sacre. Will be missed on the track but what he did during his career will never be repeated and thankfully is well enough to enjoy his twilight years unlike vautour
I have seen some great 2 milers: Crisp, Tingle Creek, Moscow Flyer, Master Minded etc but Sprinter is, for me, the standard by which others are measured.
I was there in 2013 and it was one of the greatest performance of all time,I admit I wanted him to be retired how wrong we all were,his win at cheltenham 2016 was one of the best moments in my sporting life,I shook hands with nicky henderson one hour after the race and I believe even then he could not quite believe it
Although I love many racehorses for their great performances sprinter hits me in the heart every time. I love this horse I truly do. He is all heart and you can see how hard he tries. The best. ❤
in october 2015 i said sprinter sacre would win the champion chase in 2016, if the year ended well. It did an the dream was complete! never felt so happy x
I was lucky enough to watch him in person at cheltenham in march 2013 beating sizing europe by a street. what happened after that is nothing short of a miracle, true blessing from nature that horse.
Just goes to prove the measure of how totally brilliant Sprinter Sacre was, when he could destroy a high class field of 2 mile chasers when he was just a shadow of the horse he was in 2013. Incomparable!
I have watched this vid so many times because it is amazing and amazing recovery from this when he one the queen mother champion chase it was in my opinion I think it was the best recovery ever made from a horse
I remember they used to say if you can get sprinter off the bridle he will find nothing during his prime. When his legs got older and things wasn’t as easy as they once was, he found nothing but guts balls and an unmatched determination off the bridle. The greatest jumps horse of all time
In 26 years of following Cheltenham and my birthday landing on that week never felt such happiness on this day to see a sprinter come back and the signs were there race before this that even if you did not back him its one time the money did not matter over the horse FACTS
Sprinter Sacre The Best I Wont Never Forget The Memories He Gave Me Especially The 2015 Queen Mother Champion Chase When He Put Un De Sceaux In His Place All I Can Say Is It Will Be A Long Time Until We See Another One Like Him There Again We Might Not Have A Wonderful And Well Deserved Retirement
Still come back to thiS! Hendo always has 1 superstar from SS he went on to Altior, Shiskin(early days) and the best may well be in training in Constitution Hil considering what he done to State Man, time will telll. Is the next one Sir Gino? Time will tell but hes very highly regarded.
Fantastic two miler, no doubt, but we should also consider Badsworth Boy. Three time Champion Chaser, the only triple winner. Won by 30+ lengths in his first Champion then by ten lengths in his two other wins.
I adore this horse, but can't help thinking about what Spirit Son might have achieved in his lifetime. A sad outcome but his potential was ridiculous in terms of the horses he competed against in Sprinters Supreme novice hurdle. He beat Sprinter and Cue Card, only failed to beat Al Ferof who was a year older. Then smashed Cue Card and Rock on Ruby at Aintree by 13 + 8 lengths!
Great horse, but one of nico’s best rides that last one, just sent him round the bend, took ruby by surprise and you won’t catch a champion horse like that once he gets 5 lengths on you
Nicky Henderson has got another one that I think is gonna be at least as good. Altior. He's that good that IMO he shouldn't bother with The Arkle and go straight for The Champion Chase and take on Douvan. What a race it would be. I see that Altior is now 2nd favourite for The Champion Hurdle with a run. Well if he does run in it. He'll win it
This is genuinely my favourite video on RUclips
Mine too!
Watching in 2024
The best 2 mile chaser I have ever seen.
Been immersed in horse racing my entire life.. watching this horse regain his crown is one of the great and most emotional performances of all time
The best we have ever seen.
One of them. An outstanding chaser.
100 percent the best there has ever been just look at the injury he had but yet still came back as good there is not 1 horse out there that could of done what sprintre done absolute champion

robert ellison Couldn't agree with you more 🏇
Wow, then you dont have feelings about this sport when only 2 horses made you go Wow.
Absolutely class horse by far my favourite horse to watch🏇🏼🏆
Can't u remember denman winning his hennesseys or kauto winning tingle creeks n king George's
The horse of a lifetime the likes of which we will never see again. Ive watched NH racing all my life and there is no other horse that could compare to SS, what a privilege it has been to witness his achievements.
Have a long and happy retirement champ. A horse from the Gods

This brought a tear to my eye
Best 2 mile chaser I've ever seen at the best racing festival on the planet.
Wonderful and courageous horse, and a gentleman of a trainer as well. What a story.
I have seen some great 2 milers: Crisp, Tingle Creek, Moscow Flyer, Master Minded etc but Sprinter is, for me, the standard by which others are measured.

Stephen Stafford I was when he beating sizing Europe and sanctuaire
I got Nicky’s signature in the race card that day - one of my favourites
Words Can Not Describe How Brilliant This Horse Is Never Again Will We See His Like Again
Although I love many racehorses for their great performances sprinter hits me in the heart every time. I love this horse I truly do. He is all heart and you can see how hard he tries. The best. ❤
This season was unbelievable! sire de grugy, cue card and sprinter sacra coming back to there best!
By far the best national hunt horse I’ve ever seen nothing compares
Always come back to watch this when I feel down
The best NH horse I've ever seen. Had it all.
in october 2015 i said sprinter sacre would win the champion chase in 2016, if the year ended well. It did an the dream was complete! never felt so happy x
Great chaser. So glad he came back. The very best I have seen since that wonderful grey Dessie.
I was lucky enough to watch him in person at cheltenham in march 2013 beating sizing europe by a street. what happened after that is nothing short of a miracle, true blessing from nature that horse.
What a brilliant moment
Emotive horse.
We been blessed with some of the greatest horses this sports ever seen over the last 20 year simply beautiful.
We may not see another one like him- brilliant!
Trained by a genuis. Sprinter Sacre the best 2miler ever
Just brilliant, haven't seen an applause like that since Inglis Drever, very special 🏇
Totally brilliant chaser! Xx
Best 2miler chaser I’ve ever seen
what a brilliant brilliant video ..a horse for all ages ..a true champion
Just goes to prove the measure of how totally brilliant Sprinter Sacre was, when he could destroy a high class field of 2 mile chasers when he was just a shadow of the horse he was in 2013. Incomparable!
I have watched this vid so many times because it is amazing and amazing recovery from this when he one the queen mother champion chase it was in my opinion I think it was the best recovery ever made from a horse
This was one of the greatest come backs in my lifetime. Look how heart problems effected two immortal horses in Denman and Sprinter sacre
Happy retirement, champ
I remember they used to say if you can get sprinter off the bridle he will find nothing during his prime.
When his legs got older and things wasn’t as easy as they once was, he found nothing but guts balls and an unmatched determination off the bridle.
The greatest jumps horse of all time
Tear to a glass eye
Just a great great horse. I think the best jumps horse I've seen in the last 20 years
And the best two miler chaser I've EVER seen
Only horse to ever make me 😢 cry, love sprinter sacre 🌈🌈🌈
I cry every time I see this. The greatest Cheltenham memory ever. By miles.
I do too
what a video what a superstar!
Happy retirement..thanks for the excitement you caused.
Watch this every week,,champ
Beautiful animal. Absolute machine
Wow, what a horse.
His final season he was all guts and toughness. ❤❤
In 26 years of following Cheltenham and my birthday landing on that week never felt such happiness on this day to see a sprinter come back and the signs were there race before this that even if you did not back him its one time the money did not matter over the horse FACTS
The greatest.
Without the problems,4 Queen Mothers,without a doubt.The GOAT 2m chaser
Love watching him come up the hill at chelt against UDS
What a horse reminds me of denman top class before a bad heart then comes back and still has a heart of a lion
All class
Inspirational horse
he was the best 2 mile chaser before all his problems
An absolutely brilliant horse. Even better when all these tipsters said Un de Sceaux was a certainty for the 2016 Champion Chase.
They should name a race after him!
Beautiful horse
Horse of a lifetime
Best 2 mile plus horse I'll ever see no heart issues this was the gold cup horse
Sprinter Sacre The Best I Wont Never Forget The Memories He Gave Me Especially The 2015 Queen Mother Champion Chase When He Put Un De Sceaux In His Place All I Can Say Is It Will Be A Long Time Until We See Another One Like Him There Again We Might Not Have A Wonderful And Well Deserved Retirement
What a horse one of the best ever great video should do one on Faugheen
Faugheen isn't a chaser u idiot
Class class horse
Still come back to thiS!
Hendo always has 1 superstar from SS he went on to Altior, Shiskin(early days) and the best may well be in training in Constitution Hil considering what he done to State Man, time will telll. Is the next one Sir Gino? Time will tell but hes very highly regarded.
Honeysuckle 2023 was a great moment but this was easily my favourite Cheltenham, no , racing , moment
A true legend of a horse. Hope he is enjoying his retirement.
Took 2 lengths out of Sire on that last jump, amazing.
Yes ... the race was won and lost at that final fence. And it was the brave combination of horse and jockey that won that particular race.
Could anyone please advise what the fantastic piano background music is to this masterpiece of a tribute to one of the all time greats of chasing?
Bakary Sako - Many thanks!
it tells you above,just click on show more
What a horse!
Douvan..... bring him on...
Fantastic two miler, no doubt, but we should also consider Badsworth Boy. Three time Champion Chaser, the only triple winner. Won by 30+ lengths in his first Champion then by ten lengths in his two other wins.
I will never forgive myself for not believing Sprinter Sacre could win his last QMCC
Backed him for £400 I can’t lie when he pinged the last and went clear I had a tear in my eye simply the best 🐎❤️
Should be a picture of him next to the word "champion" in the dictionary
BUILT LIKE A TANK!!!
The black aeroplane !
What's the music please?
I adore this horse, but can't help thinking about what Spirit Son might have achieved in his lifetime.

Great horse, but one of nico’s best rides that last one, just sent him round the bend, took ruby by surprise and you won’t catch a champion horse like that once he gets 5 lengths on you
good horse nicky henderson
Don t care what anyone says that would of beat altior on both there best days
Nicky Henderson has got another one that I think is gonna be at least as good. Altior. He's that good that IMO he shouldn't bother with The Arkle and go straight for The Champion Chase and take on Douvan. What a race it would be. I see that Altior is now 2nd favourite for The Champion Hurdle with a run. Well if he does run in it. He'll win it
Imagine altior vs as he greatest chase ya wud see
I still get goosebumps even now just watching this great champion
