It proved to be an afternoon of ‘firsts’ for up-and-coming young riders with Freddie Philipson-Stowe, George Daly and Joe Neal all registering their debuts for standing proudly in the winner’s circle.
Philipson-Stowe made his intentions quite obvious from the outset of the Maiden for 6yos and upwards as he bounced A Jet Of Our Own off in front and the pair were never headed afterwards before passing the post in front of College Field.
Among the rider’s family and friends cheering him back was his proud grandmother Nicky Philipson-Stowe, who harboured hopes that her grandson might one day scale the heights achieved by her late brother and former amateur champion Gay Kindersley.
For his part the young jockey said: “The plan was to jump off and let the horse do his thing as he is normally a good jumper even though he fell a couple of runs back but on this occasion, he was a real natural at his fences.
Daly could be forgiven for giving up the ghost as his previous 35 tries had ended up on stony ground but number 36 aboard Another Venture saw the 21-year-old nephew of licenced trainer Henry break the ice with a deserved victory in the Hunt Members contest.
He said:” There have been plenty of near misses along the way and the horse has jumped beautifully. I was always happy where we were in the race and obviously to get this one on the board is something of a relief.”
Ledbury-based Neal had actually been in the winner’s circle previously but that was following a walk over and he admitted a feeling of great relief to post his first “proper success” on Vango De Vaige.
After the 10-year-old French bred had seen off the attentions of Doc Carver to take the spoils in the Owner-Trainer Conditions Race, Neal commented: “My actual first winner was a walk over so doesn’t really count and this is my first proper success.
“The horse was very good out there as he jumped from fence to fence and he is the perfect partner for someone like me who has only limited experience.”
Former top jumps jockey Jason Maguire has kept himself busy since hanging up his riding boots seven years ago by running a successful livery yard at Birdlip near Cheltenham.
And now Maguire is branching out with a few point-to-pointers and was on the mark once again with One For Rosie, who easily landed the Conditions Race (Level 1) in the colours of his wife Lauren.
The trainer said: “He was a two-miler effectively under Rules but he obviously stays better with age as he has followed up his win at Garthorpe last month.
“Tom (Broughton, jockey) has given him a cracking ride again and I suppose we can go away and dream a bit about where we might go next. I suppose the options are something like the Members race at the Berkeley next month as I think he is eligible.
“Other than that we could look at the Cheltenham Hunter Chase meeting as there might be something there but I would not want to be running him on anything quicker than good to soft ground.”
Bradley Gibbs seldom leaves empty handed when he ventures west from his Hertfordshire base and he booted home newcomer Ask Brewster in the Maiden (for 4&5 year olds) before saddling Saunton Surf, who scooted well clear in the concluding bumper.
Gibbs said of Ask Brewster; “He is a lovely horse for the future as he jumped well but had been in front plenty long enough and was just beginning to idle going the last fence. The sales ring at Cheltenham or Aintree will probably be his next appearance.”
Tommie O’Brien had the leg up aboard Saunton Surf and the well-supported 8-15 favourite never gave her backers a worrying moment as she looked a potentially smart mare by putting plenty of daylight between herself and runner-up Casting Aspersions.
A delighted Gibbs said: “Like many of ours she is for sale but if nobody wants her we will have a good look at the point-to-point bumper final at Aintree in May.”
Sholto Lacey has now racked up four career victories and all those wins have been on Macfin, who took the Veterans and Novice Riders contest in eased down fashion over Barney Dwan.
The seven-year-old is trained by Lacey’s father Tom and his son said: “The horse is a real star as he seems to go on any ground and we will look for another race for him in a month or so”
