Master Minded

Master Minded (foaled April 14, 2003) is a French bred National Hunt racehorse who was trained in Great Britain by Paul Nicholls.

Prior to this run, Clive Smith (owner of Kauto Star) had bought him, and Ruby Walsh had his first ride on the horse in that race.

[2] On 13 March 2008 as a five-year-old, Master Minded became the youngest horse to win the prestigious Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival since the race was established in 1959.

[3] Master Minded was now highest rated Chaser in the world and had one more run at Aintree, where he lost to Voy Por Ustedes.

The Racing Post said, "As much as Voy Por Ustedes relished the rapidly drying conditions, Master Minded intermittently looked uneasy, certainly not jumping or travelling with the zest he showed at Cheltenham.

[5] Master Minded finished fourth behind Big Zeb, an Irish horse, owned by Patrick Joseph Redmond, on 17 March 2010 in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
