Nells Son sparkles at Carlisle

Nells Son ran a brilliant race at Carlisle yesterday to win the Weatherby’s nhstallions.co.uk graduation chase over 2 miles.

Although they were only four runners it was a fiercely competitive race, with Gavin Cromwell sending a horse over from Ireland and Paul Nicholls and Dan Skeleton having a runner each.  Nells Son settled in third place, jumping and travelling well. He was slightly hampered when the Nicholls horse fell 4 out.

Danny McMenamin tracked the eventual second Unexpected Party and, although he had 4 lengths to make up jumping the last, Danny timed his challenge to perfection, sweeping past the runner up to win going away by a length.

Nells Son showed great determination and courage to quicken past the runner up. Nells Son is a very talented horse,  and was winning his seventh race.
