Barry Geraghty described Sprinter Sacre as "just unbelievable" after the news broke that the champion two-mile chaser has been retired.

Geraghty rode the Nicky Henderson-trained superstar 17 times, winning on 13 occasions.

The jockey said; "He's something special and he is to be celebrated. I've never sat on a horse over fences like him - he was electric. The first day he won here (in the 2012 Arkle), just to see him sail away on the way to the last, I've never seen that before. He was just unbelievable."
