Re: Horse Racing
Bonfire reignited for new campaign.

Quote:
Andrew Balding expects to see a rejuvenated Bonfire in Thursday's Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance Earl of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket.
The world looked to be his oyster when he made a winning reappearance in last year's Dante Stakes at York. However, he was well beaten in the Derby and ran no sort of race in the Eclipse, after which Balding, along with his owners, Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, decided to draw stumps for the season.
Gelded in the interim, Balding believes the four-year-old will be a different proposition as the campaign progresses.
