The feature race of the weekend was the Lough Derg Long Walk Hurdle (Grade 1) at Ascot, and we all waited to see if Big Buck's could extend his winning streak to an incredible fourteen successive victories.
Trainer Paul Nicholls has confirmed we won't see Big Buck's again now until he lines up for the World Hurdle at the Festival next March.
Big Buck’s won’t run again until Cheltenham. Andy [Stewart, owner] and I had a chat on Saturday night and we’ve decided to do what we did last year, which means just giving him a racecourse gallop before the World Hurdle to sharpen him up.
The Long Walk was the only race covered by Horse Racing Trends over the weekend. Unsurprising Big Buck's was the advised selection, but odds of 30/100 didn't make much more than a pimple on the profit graph. But a win none-the-less.
- Big Buck's (1) won 30/100
