Hell Hound
FORM 2-01-134-P12 OR – 108
"Hell Hound has done really well since coming back from 15 months off the track. It was lovely to see him win at Southwell and I'm particularly delighted for his owners. They've shown a lot of patience and kept the faith. Hopefully when he returns in the autumn on some safe ground there will be more to come." Noel Fehily
Hell Hound made a very pleasing return to the track after
467 days off through injury. He blew away the cobwebs on chase debut at Taunton
which proved to be the perfect introduction. Five weeks later he went to
Southwell with classy trainer Neil Mulholland now confident about his fitness.
Hell Hound jumped superbly, stayed three miles well and duly won under a very
good Conor O’Farrell ride.
A few weeks later he went to Ffos Las when running a good
second to a bang in form winner. The race wasn’t run to suit but
Hell Hound stuck to his task well up the home straight. After a good
summer at Hagg Hill to ‘fill the tank’ there should be more to come over
extended trips.
