County Handicap Hurdle 2004 Result
Sporazene had claims to being regarded last season's best juvenile, and has been highly tried on occasions since, so it should have been no great surprise that he was able to win a race of this nature. He made his first move going up the hill on the far side of the Cheltenham Racecourse and closed further, travelling well, approaching the second last. But Walsh really had to get after him on the long run to the last, and he had headed Harchibald only narrowly when that horse flattened the last. Once in front he was not doing a great deal, and his rider admitted he might have got there too soon. He has already schooled well over fences and looks obvious Arkle material in a year's time. Hawadeth often runs well in these big handicaps but did remarkably well to run the winner so close from so far out of the weights, especially as he had a dozen or so in front of him over the second last and was still only seventh jumping the last. Copeland has been out of form and was back on the mark from which he won the Tote Gold Trophy. He was back to something like his old form here in staying on into third.
