Popular hurdler retires

Three-time Champion Hurdle runner-up My Tent Or Yours, one of the most popular hurdlers of recent years, has been retired.

The Nicky Henderson-trained 11-year-old gelding was last seen at the Aintree Grand National meeting in April, finishing fourth to stablemate L’Ami Serge.

Owned by JP McManus, he was twice a Grade One winner, claiming the Fighting Fifth Hurdle and Christmas Hurdle in 2013, and in total won nine of his 25 starts under rules.

Henderson said in his Unibet blog: “It is with great sadness that I have to announce we have decided to retire dear old My Tent Or Yours.”
