Damian Skehan gave him a great ride, keeping his enthusiasm under control and directed in the right direction, towards the winning post. 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 legend in the yard, a real character and keeps Wilf his work rider fit by pulling his arms out up the gallops every day! Pete is a flagbearer for the veterans series and proves that horses can race and be competitive even when they are in their teenage years!
