Solve the riddle for a well-known steeplechaser.

You make my first, though three often abound,
You should live life to my second- to be what the glutton ne'er aspires,
My third means rare, especially on the ground,
My last sits aloof and can pull all the wires.
 
This one is letters based, rather than syllables:

My first is in good, and also in great
My second is in early but not in late;
My third is often seen before "-turn"
My fourth is in Flame but not in burn.
My fifth is in coffee and also in tea,
My sixth is in Bonnet but not in bee.
My seventh, and final, is in "in" but not in "on"
And one of my stablemates is called Walkon
 
Here goes - hope you solve it quicker than it took me to do it !!

My first is in bold, as well as brass
My second is in trim, as well as in thin
My third is in friend, as well as enemy
My fourth is in Kauto Star's (ex!)- trainer, and in the champion jockey too
My fifth is in Chester, and Ascot as well
My sixth is in you, but not in they
My seventh is a plate
My eigth is in grape, and grain as well
My last is Arsenal, and in Spurs as well

I was Champion.

Good luck
