I rode Master Hope in his first ever race
Result
Finished 7th / 22 ran
Master Hope was a horse I looked after at David Nicholson’s Jackdaws Castle racing stable
The Duke let me ride this horse in a couple of bumpers, at Sandown (7th behind Go Ballistic) and 8th at Doncaster
It was very satisfying to get the ride on this horse
“Why?”
When I applied to a “Stable Staff Wanted at Jackdaws Castle” advert in The Sporting Life “The Duke” told me “Richard, you are not coming here to ride in races” which with the help of Master Hope was a statement I proved wrong
Master Hope had his problems, breathing trouble and he also fractured his cannon bone on the gallops at home
He was owned by the same people who owned Waterloo Boy and Another Coral
The horse never won a race and I think I’m right in saying he met with an unfortunate end but when I knew him he was an absolute joy to look after
I loved this horse ❤️
