Re: Horse Racing
Hinterland reigns in Henry VIII.

Quote:
Hinterland went one place better than 12 months ago to claim the Racing Post Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown.
Winning for just the second time over fences, Daryl Jacob's mount was held up for much of the way as Claret Cloak and Balder Succes cut out the running in the Grade One affair.
But the Paul Nicholls-trained five-year-old (13-2) arrived on the scene powerfully and cruised to the front between the last two fences. Grandouet, who had unseated when not out of it in the race Hinterland won at the Esher track last month, gamely battled back after being headed, but went down by a neck.
