Boher Lad on the way to victory at Stratford

There have been miles of smiles around Guiting Power this week after Boher Lad, the horse owned by Mike Edwards and his family, won at Stratford on Sunday.

The 12-year-old, trained by Alan Phillips at Callow End, triumphed in a three miles two furlongs hurdle race.

It was the fifth race that Boher Lad has won and he's been placed 12 times.

Edwards commented: "It's remarkable because when he moved to Alan Phillips' yard he was a nine-year-old maiden."

The Edwards family was out in force to see Boher Lad's latest success - including grandchildren Connor and Rohan - and Edwards described it as "a great family day".

Depending on a drop of rain, Boher Lad will have a couple more runs before enjoying a well-earned retirement in the leafy paddocks near Malvern, staying at the trainers' yard as part of the family.
