CAB ON TARGET

Trained by Mary Reveley, Cab On Target made a winning racecourse debut in a Kelso Bumper on 23rd February 1990, less than four weeks before Jodami who also has a race series final named in his honour on this card.

Having scored at 5/1 on his first attempt, Cab on Target made it a brace of wins at Kelso when he returned for a second Bumper in November before embarking on a winning spree over hurdles at distances varying from two-and-ahalf miles to three miles A prolific scorer, he won eight times from ten runs during the 1991/92 season, finishing second on the other two occasions

In November 1993 Cab On Target was beaten by three-quarters of a length by our old friend Jodami over fences at Haydock, albeit in receipt of 15lbs

We are delighted to commemorate Cab On Target through the staging of the 2½ mile BetVictor Go North Handicap Hurdle series and look forward to making more exciting racing memories on Saturday

Lots with chances but PRAIRIE WOLF has taken his form up a notch since the cheekpieces went on and can quickly resume winning ways having just been edged out at Doncaster after a late error The thriving CORAL BLUE, who beat a few of these at Ayr last time, is next on the list in his bid to record win number four of the season, with We’ll Go Again and The Navigator completing the shortlist.
