Siblings Shine: Nube Negra’s Brother Secures Victory Over Fences for Laura Morgan in Game Race
Noche Negra, a rare Spanish-bred over jumps, carries the same Terry Spraggett silks as his illustrious sibling. He is seen as more of a staying prospect than the 2021 Champion Chase runner-up. Dobb emphasized their strategy during the race, stating that he aimed to fill up Noche Negra before making a late lunge, as the horse doesn’t perform as well in front. Also, Dobb highlighted that they might have misjudged the trip in the previous race, suggesting that the horse favors two and a half miles on good ground, and would perform differently under those conditions.
The victory was significant for jockey Bridget Andrews, as it was her first win since the tragic loss of her stable star Notlongtillmay, who suffered a fatal fall at Kempton earlier in the month.
