A Plus Tard, the horse that supplied jockey Rachael Blackmore with a historic Cheltenham Gold Cup win, has been retired.

Blackmore turned the primary feminine rider to win the race when the pair triumphed in 2022 for coach Henry de Bromhead.

A Plus Tard beat Minella Indo by 15 lengths, a yr after ending second to his stablemate.

“You possibly can by no means dream too massive – that is one thing I by no means thought can be potential,” mentioned Blackmore on the time.

That proved to be A Plus Tard’s last victory, with 4 subsequent defeats together with his final outing in the Savills Chase in December.

A Plus Tard, owned by Cheveley Park Stud, had gained the Leopardstown race a yr earlier.

Different important victories included a 22-length triumph within the 2021 Betfair Chase at Haydock.
