We could not have been happier with the debut of Big Bert under rules at Carlisle on Sunday. Over an inadequate trip, he ran a massive race in a red hot bumper, and on another day, could have been the winner.
The owners, trainer James Owen, and Jockey Sam Twiston-Davies were all delighted with his performance and left feeling very excited for the future.
He will now be racing over a longer trip, going over hurdles. We have already enjoyed a Royal Ascot winner, and you wouldn’t bet against a Cheltenham Festival winner in the future.
