Dream Alliance, the allotment-raised racehorse who famously won the 2009 Welsh Grand National against the odds, has died aged 22.
The romantic story of Dreamy, as he was affectionately known, was etched into Welsh sporting folklore and even made into a Hollywood film starring Toni Colette.
Dream Alliance was raised on an allotment in Cefn Fforest, near Blackwood, by supermarket worker and barmaid Janet Vokes and her husband Brian, while the horse was owned by a syndicate of friends who paid £10 a week to maintain the horse's upkeep.
