Sprinter Sacre retired Sprinter Sacre has been retired, his trainer Nicky Henderson has announced. The 10-year-old was one of the best two-mile chasers ever, winning the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in 2013 and in heartwarming scenes again last March. After suffering from a fibrillating heart in December 2013, he was nursed back to his best by Henderson to rule the two-mile division once more. Henderson tweeted: "It is with deep regret that I have to announce the sad news that Sprinter Sacre has been retired. He was the horse of an absolute lifetime."
