Speed Derby legend retires with friends

THE most successful horse in British Speed Derby history, has bowed out aged 21 to enjoy a happy retirement.

Silver Lift and Harriet Biddick won three titles and came second four times.

“I wanted to retire him with the sun on his back; it seemed the right time,” Harriet told H&H. “He’s out with A Touch Imperious and a couple of four-year-olds, a nice group.”
