Transmission Strikes Again to Enhance Perfect Plumpton Record with Exciting Staying Chaser

The seven-year-old took the £75,000 Sussex Stayers Handicap Hurdle in dramatic circumstances in January. He nearly unseated his rider at the sixth flight and the jockey, Anderson, didn’t have to perform any heroics this time. The 100-30 favorite responded willingly, eventually stretching two and three-quarter lengths clear of his stablemate Broomfields Cave, who was making his seasonal reappearance. Trainer Mulholland commented on the race, mentioning that Joe Anderson had to push Transmission for a long way and emphasized the great result of the race with the other horse finishing second.

Mulholland spoke about the performance of Transmission, expressing hope for his future as an exciting staying chaser. The decision to run him again this season will be discussed with the owner, Paul McKeon. Anderson was banned for two days for careless riding after allowing his mount to drift without reasonable correction. The eight-year-old left Paul Nicholls in October but has now won his last two starts at the track.
