Trevor Hemmings, whose famous green, yellow and white colours were carried to Grand National glory by Hedgehunter, Ballabriggs and Many Clouds, has died at the age of 86.
One of jump racing's most important owners, many of his great horses have appeared in the punter strings over the years.
The Nicky Henderson-trained Trabolgan became Hemmings' first Grade 1 winner when landing the 2005 RSA Chase before the superb Albertas Run, trained by Jonjo O'Neill, provided Hemmings with wins at three Cheltenham Festivals, including a Ryanair Chase double in 2010 and 2011.
Vintage Clouds became the last of 12 Cheltenham Festival triumphs when striking in the Ultima Handicap Chase in March, while Lake View Lad, Sayce Gold and Cloth Cap also provided Hemmings with Graded victories in the last 12 months.
Castle Rushen a winner for the Editor last season, is also one of his horses.
