WHAT a loss Fame And Glory (Montjeu) was to the National Hunt stallion ranks, and we are constantly reminded of how good he was.

While he had just two foals registered in his final and fifth crop, having covered only a handful of mares when he succumbed to a suspected heart attack in mid-February, Fame And Glory’s four full crops yielded their 25th blacktype winner last weekend, thanks to Hunters Yarn’s success in the listed novice hurdle at Navan.
