Ladies Day witnessed a spectacle of style as thousands arrived in their finest attire to Aintree Racecourse today.
THE LOVEABLE JONBON BOUNCES BACK
Jonbon produced the goods to bounce back to form winning the Grade 1 My Pension Expert Melling Chase. Jonbon surged to the lead to land the spoils ahead of a very game Conflated & Protektorat. JP McManus was once again in the winners enclosure marking the 3rd Grade 1 of the day for the famous green & yellow colors.
Winning trainer Nicky Henderson expressed his jubilation with training him: “Everybody loves him. He is an entertaining horse as he doesn’t make life terribly easy for everybody. He has settled down so much though. He dug very deep, and he had to. He was very brave, and it was great riding. We love him, and I hope he loves us. That is it for the season as it was a tough race today".
POWERFUL VICTORY
Owner JP McManus celebrated his second Grade One triumph on Ladies Day as Mystical Power, hailing from the lineage of the illustrious 2014 Champion Hurdle heroine Annie Power, clinched victory by a half-length margin in the Grade One TrustATrader Top Novices’ Hurdle.
Trainer Willie Mullins expressed his admiration for the gelding's performance, noting, “I was particularly taken with his hurdling today - he barely came off the ground; he just bent his legs like a real professional hurdler, and that’s what he looks like".
