There have been few to have grabbed more headlines in 21st Century horse racing than Gordon Elliott. Planet Sport takes a closer look at the controversial career of one of racing's modern greats.
With no racing background, former amateur jockey Elliott made into one of the most successful trainers the sport has seen, landing all of National Hunt's great prizes.
He celebrated a 2000th winner in Britain and Ireland in May 2022 when Ted Hastings won at Ayr.
Elliott has 41 winners at the Cheltenham Festival, including one Gold Cup triumph and has won the Grand National three times.
However, whatever he achieves in his career is likely to remain tarnished by the infamous dead horse photograph that found its way on to the front pages of the media in February 2021.
