Anyone else delighted that NH Racing is back on tv. One reason to be pleased that winter is approaching!
What horses are you looking forward to seeing?

Agree though - jump racing always gets the blood going more than the flat. I think it's because you see the same horses coming back season on season so you get to know and love them.
Winx, Cox Plate 4 years in a row !That's exactly why people love jumps racing! Where else would you see the same 4 horses fighting it out in the Gold Cup 4 years running? Or the same horse win the same Championship race 4 times over? Not on the flat!
Cracksman - retired.
Roaring Lion - one more run then retired.
Justify - 4 runs then retired.
Your lucky to see a flat horse run as a 4yo! Most finish at 3yo to the breeding sheds.
But jump horses keep coming back for more!

Saw a fab horse on facebook recently, called Malone Road - it just kicked into another gear on the straight and cruised home about 20 lengths free!!
I used to ride his mother! Zaffarella! She is owned by Pete Buchanan and has 4 or 5 offspring. The first sold for 100k, went on to win it's first 3 bumpers/ hurdles. The next sold for 60k I think and again has won a point and 2 bumpers so far. Malone Road sold for 320k? If I remember rightly! Gordon Elliott bought him for Chevely park.
The mare was a half decent racehorse to be fair to her and is producing far better than herself - which is a good thing! Zaffarella ran against a Horse called Valentines Lady a few times - VL is one of my horses at works mother - Midnight- small world!
She ran well, at the front so I’m sure she was noticed, just ran out of steam at the end. The winner was brilliant, all very emotional.Oh! And another thing. Did anyone watch the Badger Ales on Saturday? A friend of ours owns On Demand, wasn't she great! (She was only 5th so will forgive you if you didn't notice her but she ran beautifully).
He was entered in the kempton race you mention but didn’t run presumably as Henderson knew the other horse would win !EKW - am looking out for Precious Cargo but the site I used doesn't seem to have any entries yet - is that right?

If you search for a horses name on sporting life racing you can press on entries to see if there are any in the next 6 days. He isn’t entered anywhere at the moment but presumably is ready to run and will soon.Well my searching really was rubbish then! Can you tell me where you look? Thank you
