NICKNAME (by Lost World) was an outstanding racehorse, a dual Grade 1 winning hurdler in France who went on to become one of Ireland top chasers.

He beat Central House by 14 lengths in the Grade 1 Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown, won a string of other graded events, including the Grade 2 Fortria Chase and the Grade 2 Tied Cottage Chase, and his final start, a disappointing sixth behind The Listener in the Grade 1 Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown came just a few weeks after his defeat of Kicking King in a Grade 2 contest at Gowran Park brought his career tally to 18 wins.
