He died at the ninth fence in the Melling Chase at The Grand National Meeting at Aintree in 1998. He broke his right hind leg and had to be put down.
A very sad day, particularly as his owner, Jon Hales, had been picked up on the BBC microphones in the paddock shortly before the race giving the old horse a pat and saying something like "come back safe and sound, there's a paddock waiting for you all summer".

There's lots of deaths in a race down a hill chasing a cheese in Somerset....
