Brilliant Buck’s now just one off Sir Ken’s record

BIG BUCK’S treated Cheltenham racegoers to a preview of what will surely be a fourth victory in March’s Ladbrokes World Hurdle when winning for the 15th time in-a-row on Saturday.

In overcoming a determined Dynaste by seven lengths in the Rewards4Racing Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham, Andy Stewart’s remarkable gelding moved to within one success of the record jumping streak set by Sir Ken in the 1950s.

“He’s reached 15 now so hopefully he will make it 16 at the Festival,” said the owner.
