This afternoon at Chepstow.

What a great run Imogen Mathias gave Bound For Glory (4/1) at Chepstow this afternoon.

The 4-year-old trained by Robert Stephens and owned by Imogen Mathias (bred Mel Mathias) was caught in the last few strides by the fast-finishing Sam Twiston-Davies on Harbour Light (2/1 Fav).

Great race.

Well done to Sky Sports Racing commentator Alan Howes for pronouncing the title of the fifth race “DragonBet Cefnogi Rasio Ceffylau Cymreig Handicap Hurdle Race“ perfectly.

Fascinating interview by Matt Chapman with the owner of the winner of the sixth race, Jan Johnson from Swansea. Jan owns Gower Prince who is trained by Jonjo & A J O’Neill, ridden today by Benjamin Macey.

Very entertaining.
