Broughton has festival in mind

Martin Broughton can dream of a possible trip to the Cheltenham Festival with Cruising River after the Henrietta Knight-trained gelding claimed victory in the Weatherbys Printing Handicap at Huntingdon.

The British Horseracing Board chairman owns the seven-year-old in company with his twin brother Steve and two other friends, and a crack at the Kim Muir or the National Hunt Chase at next month’s showpiece meeting could now be in the offing for the 25-1 winner.
