Hodson's Horse Yeomanry Ride, Badminton, Glos
FOUR years to the day after he won the Grade One Betfair Chase at Haydock, Lostintranslation scored his first victory in his post-racing career with Roddy Stanning.
The 11-year-old, formerly trained by Colin Tizzard, is primarily with the Stannings to team chase and hunt, but when Roddy's intended mount in the Yeomanry Ride was found to have a "niggle" in a check ligament 10 days before the race, he decided to take "Lost" instead for a school round.
Roddy, for whom it was a first hunt race success, said: "I'm thrilled with him - he's taken to a change of career and environment better than we could have hoped for. The plan was just a gentle lob round, but people kept disappearing in front of me and at the halfway point I was in the lead.
"Team chasing, hunt races and hunting are easy for the quality racehorses if they have the brain for it, because they're operating so far beneath their potential that they can just enjoy it and have fun."
