Style de Garde second in Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival

14th March, 2018

Style de Garde put in an impressive display this afternoon at Cheltenham, giving his owners a tremendous shout in the closing stages to finish second in The Boodles Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle, a Grade 3 contest.  Travelling on the outside throughout a majority of the race, jockey Nico de Boinville managed to settle Style de Garde well, despite him looking to be quite keen in the early stages. As the field turned for home Nico asked him for his effort and he responded well, making ground after the last and gaining on the winner, Veneer Of Charm, all the way to the line! We are delighted with his performance, and look towards an exciting furture with this four year old son of Kapgarde.
