Exotic Dancer

RIP Exotic Dancer. A tribute to a great racehorse whose misfortune was to belong to the same era as Kauto Star, his great rival whom he came 2nd to many times but never managed to defeat.

Exotic Dancer tragically died at Aintree racecourse on 2nd April 2009, just over half an hour after finishing a gallant second in the Totesport Bowl chase. He will be best remembered as a 'nearly horse' whose consistency and bravery endeared him to many racegoers.

@kmselby Making this vid was so hard, but worth it because Exotic was so loved and deserved a tribute!

An awesome horse who should (and will) never be forgotten. Brilliant video, and incredily emotional!

@CoinofCourage Watching it still brings a tear to my eye and I made the thing! Every time he's given an honourable mention on the TV racing coverage I feel almost proud =[

@skyandkit It was sad watching the Grand National meeting this year because that was where he died =[ This remains one of my favourite videos that I have ever made, he was a great horse!
