JP McManus, a major player in National Hunt racing, marked his presence at Cheltenham where his horse The New Lion triumphed in the opener. This win comes after a consistent streak for the six-year-old, adding to McManus's impressive ownership record. With over 100 horses in training and a significant history in racing, McManus's continued success is a noteworthy highlight in the event. Following the race, the implications of a private deal surrounding The New Lion were shared, emphasizing McManus’s strategic investment in racehorse ownership.
"Coming into Cheltenham, the six-year-old horse has won each of his four starts for the Skeltons, with a debut victory in a Market Rasen bumper in the spring followed by a hat-trick of wins over hurdles."
"The deal massively suits JP and massively suits me. I'm not going to go into it obviously, because JP wanted to keep it private, which is great with me, but it does give me an interest in the horse moving forward as well."
