Jonbon does it again
There's something about horses running in races they have won the previous year.
Whether it's the weather or the track or the stage in their prep we don't know for sure but we do know now that Jonbon who won the Clarence House Chase G1 won it last year and despite all negatives floating around did it again this year.
Mind you it was a four horse race that got reduced to three when Gidleigh Park was pulled up and then to two after – shock horror- favourite Il Etait Temps fell two out!
Thistle Ask managed to stay on all four feet and finished second.
Jonbon is a very good horse and it was nice to see him come back to the winners' enclosure again.
The Mares' Hurdle went to Ooh Betty 7/1 for the Bens – Clarke and Jones with favourite La Conquiere second by ½ length and Sunset Marquesa 13/2 third.
