British two-mile champion chaser whose remarkable unbeaten record over fences, multiple Champion Chase victories and devastating jumping style established him as one of the finest two-mile chasers in the history of jump racing.
Altior was National Hunt racing's most dominant two-mile chaser of the 2010s, winning two Champion Chases and an unprecedented 19 consecutive chase victories. Trained by Nicky Henderson, his extraordinary jumping, exceptional cruising speed, and seemingly bottomless reserves of energy when needed made him one of the greatest chasers seen in Britain and Ireland.
