A video of the 25 greatest 2m chasers over the years. There's probably a few controversial selections but I don't think there's many glaring omissions.
In the time I've been following racing Sprinter Sacre is the best 2m chaser that I've seen. At his best he appeared totally invincible.
Moscow Flyer would be next best for me. He was the best chaser around in a vintage period for the 2m division with Azertyuiop & Well Chief.
Desert Orchid and Kauto Star are the two best 3m chasers I've seen but I'd have them behind Sprinter Sacre & Moscow Flyer over 2m.
Every race fan has their personal favourite horses and three of mine are in this list. Desert Orchid, Remittance Man & Well Chief.
I remember being so gutted when Well Chief fell at the second fence in the 2007 Champion Chase. That was his big chance to win it and unfortunately injury prevented him having another proper chance of doing so.
Hopefully we'll see plenty more of Altior & Douvan competing over 2m during the next few seasons.
