The horse with the funny name has become the Apache Gold of the Summer jumps scene this past year in case you have missed it.
Twenty starts since April 2024 have yielded 5 wins , 3 seconds, 5 thirds and one fourth placing.
This horse has been racing at 0-100 level over hurdles and fences but his last thirteen runs has only shown one disappointing result.
Hats off to Michael Winters and family for finding the key; anyone wanting fun would do worse than give him a go.
The horse's great great grand dam is a full sister to Captain Christy , one of my father's great " one that got away story ".
Christy's Bow walked through the sales ring carrying CC in utero, a £100 bid would have secured the mare but he cared little for Mon Capitane, the covering sire so his moment in the sun faded into the sunset!
