Rooster Booster to carry on racing

Rooster Booster will be kept in training next year for a “selective” campaign and is set for a quick reappearance in the Freephone Stanleybet Swinton Hurdle a week on Saturday.

Philip Hobbs’s popular grey was given a rousing reception by the Sandown crowd after his victory in the Concept Hurdle last week which, at the age of 11, had prompted talk of his retirement.
