Excellent entries for Huntingdon’s biggest race
Some top quality horses have been entered for Huntingdon Racecourse’s biggest race of the year - the Betfred Peterborough Chase.
The race is on Sunday and there’s £65,000 up for grabs.
The 13 entries include last year’s winner, Josses Hill, one of two entries from the yard of champion jumps trainer Nicky Henderson, and the 2014 Cheltenham Festival Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Sire De Grugy.
The latter is trained by Gary Moore who has also entered Ar Mad and Traffic Fluide.
Ten-times champion jump trainer Paul Nicholls has put two horses into the two-anda-half mile contest. They are Ptit Zig, who ran in the race two years ago, and San Benedeto, who ran up a sequence of four victories earlier this year.
Long House Hall, winner of the Betfred Summer Plate at Market Rasen, is entered by Dan Skelton.
There is even a potential Irish raider in Ballyoisin, who is trained by Enda Bolger in County Limerick.
Cloudy Dream could come down from the Yorkshire stables of Malcolm Jefferson for the race, while Top Notch is a second possible runner for Nicky Henderson.
The potential line-up is completed by Charbel, trained by Kim Bailey, God’s Own from the yard of Tom George and Kylemore Lough of Harry Fry.
First race on Sunday is at 12.15pm. Gates open 10.15am.
