Watch: Building the perfect racehorse with Willie Mullins, Nicky Henderson, Harry Skelton and other star names


If you could build the perfect racehorse that could reign supreme in any jumps race - whether that's at the Cheltenham Festival or even the Grand National - which attributes would it take from the many legends we've seen down the years?

We asked legendary trainers Willie Mullins, Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls - as well as star jockeys Harry Skelton, Sam Twiston-Davies, Charlie Deutche and Daryl Jacob - to create a Frankenstein's Monster of a racehorse.

BUILDING THE PERFECT RACEHORSE!

All they had to do was select the first horse that came to mind for the following four categories:

  • Speed
  • Stamina
  • Jumping
  • Mentality

They could pick any horse past or present, but some of our guests opted to pick ones they've either trained or ridden while others picked based on the greatness they've witnessed down the years.

It's a great watch and comes complete with some memorable footage from a variety of iconic stars.

The 2012 Grand National was the closest in history and winning jockey Daryl Jacob relives his emotions during this fascinating interview complete with thrilling race footage.

Watch the closest Grand National finish ever!
