Great mare. just reading on the racingpost how she was campaigned in her champion hurdle year. Ran in haydock champion hurdle trial, a week later the cleeve, then the schweppes, another grade 2 race, and all this before the champion hurdle, where she was obviously still in top shape to defeat the likes of large action. To cap it off won on the flat 18 days after Cheltenham. Pity horses aren't campaigned like this anymore.

tbh campaigns like that might be the reason they don't do it these days. Pretty much finished her off didn't it?
But RIP anyway Flakey, this is a day for celebration not sadness, wonderful racemare and a great innings to boot.
