“Pete’s main target is still the Veterans’ final next month which he won this year, by which time he will be 14 however his love for racing remains boundless. He jumped well and left many of the younger horses struggling to keep with him.
“He is a flag-bearer for the veterans series and proves that horses can race and be competitive even when they are in their teenage years.”
