Multiple Grade One winner Cue Card dies suddenly days before he was due to lead King George parade

Multiple Grade One winner Cue Card and 2015 King George VI Chase hero has died after tragically suffering a heart attack on Friday morning.

Trained by Colin Tizzard and owned by Jean Bishop, Cue Card was a dual Cheltenham Festival victor in winning the 2010 Champion Bumper and the 2013 Ryanair Chase and retired in 2017 with a career tally of 16 wins in 41 career starts.

Cue Card was due to lead the parade of this year’s King George at Kempton on Monday, but Tizzard’s son Joe, who now holds the training licence, announced the death of the hugely popular 16-year-old.
