spring festivals: He has seen his famous maroon and white colours carried to victory in nearly 100 Grade One races and last season alone he had over 159 winners in Ireland from nearly 1,000 runners, according to The Guardian. In Britain, O'Leary's runners are generally restricted to the major spring festivals but he has still enjoyed immense success, most famously only last month, when Tiger Roll became the first horse since Red Rum in 1974 to win the Grand National two years in a row. O'Leary has invested incalculable sums over the 17 years since Tuco I, trained by David Wachman, gave him his first significant success in a Grade Three hurdle at Naas in February 2002. He has also won the Cheltenham Gold Cup twice among a total of 27 winners at the Festival.

O'Leary's slow but steady departure from National Hunt racing over the next five years will be felt at every level of the sport, and most immediately in the market for jumping bloodstock before the new season in the autumn, where one of the biggest hitters in history will suddenly be missing.
