AW Bonus win for hat-trick hero High Court Judge!

Posted January 27, 2025

I was delighted to be at Lingfield Park on Friday to see High Court Judge record a third successive win, in doing so ensuring he shares first prize for the ‘Horse of the Month’ competition, which forms part of the outstanding £1 million Arc All-Weather Bonus Scheme.

It was a particularly enjoyable success, given the 2,400gns Tattersalls Online purchases sports the silks of my dad Chris and is trained by, and was ridden by, very good friends of mine, James Owen and David Probert.

The son of Kitten’s Joy has really progressed physically in the past couple of months and looked a picture in the preliminaries. It was another facile success and though life will be a little tougher up in grade next time, there could be a good deal more to come and the aim is to try and get him in the top 20 in the ‘Horse of the Year’ competition, which again is offering excellent prize-money. Congratulations to all involved!
