The World really is his oyster for National Hunt purchase Golden Birthday who has now won his last four races on the trot. And it’s not just the fact that he has won his last four – he demolished a high-class field in a class 2 £35,000 hurdle at Newton Abbot and then won his debut on the flat at Leicester and then followed up in a 12f handicap on the all-weather at Kempton over an inadequate trip. The 6-year-old son of Poliglote who I purchased for owner Gary Stevens after he had run 2nd in a Punchestown bumper has now won or placed in 14 of his 16 starts to date and his future options include Cheltenham & Aintree over jumps and Chester on the flat.
Huge congratulations to his owner Gary Stevens and to his trainer Harry Fry.
