Indomitable spirit: Inglis Drever
We decided on Saturday that he wasn't really interested in his racing any more. We always knew that he would tell us when he wanted to be retired. That day has now come.

Triple World Hurdle winner Inglis Drever has been retired after failing to recover from an injury sustained at Newbury in November.
Trainer Howard Johnson and owner Graham Wylie had hoped he could overcome the setback after positive X-ray results were taken in early January.
But a disappointing workout at the weekend convinced connections to abandon plans to send the 10-year-old back to the Cheltenham Festival, after which the decision was taken to end his illustrious career.
"We decided on Saturday that he wasn't really interested in his racing any more," said Wylie.
"We always knew that he would tell us when he wanted to be retired.
"That day has now come."
Popular
Inglis Drever made history at the Cheltenham Festival last March when he became the first horse to win the World Hurdle three times.
His indomitable spirit and appetite for a scrap made him one of the most popular National Hunt horses in training.
The brilliant gelding signed off with 17 wins - 12 of which came at Graded level - from 35 starts and amassed nearly £800,000 in prize-money.
Wylie added: "At the end of the day, he has won three World Hurdles and has been one of the greatest horses to have been around.
"Winning three World Hurdles was a great achievement.
"But more than any horse - probably apart from Lord Transcend - Inglis Drever was the horse who got me seriously interested in racing.
"He instilled in me such a passion for the sport."
