It promises to be an emotional day at the Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday when Honeysuckle is due to race for the last time in her career.
The nine-year-old will not defend her crown in the Champion Hurdle but instead lines up in the Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle, the race in which her Cheltenham Festival story began in 2020.
Her victory over Benie Des Dieux was win number eight, halfway to what became a 16 race winning streak over hurdles.
