The great Desert Orchid - bold and brave and classy and charismatic, 'Dessie' was the racehorse that captured the national imagination.

The four-time winner of the King George VI Chase, the grey was remarkably versatile and posted victories at the top level over the two-mile minimum trip in the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown and the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot. Not to mention victory over more than half and a half miles in the Irish Grand National and success in the Cheltenham Gold Cup!

Here. the late Tom O'Ryan narrates a beautifully-worded feature and tribute to an unforgettable racehorse, one who made memories that are seared in the hearts of jumps racing aficionados.
