Tobyshill, a debutante son of Califet got off the mark in the most impressive fashion for the Caroline McCaldin stable in the colours of her father Wilson Dennison.

History rewritten as Winged Leader stands alone at the top of the record books. There were emotional scenes as Winged Leader became the most successful point-to-point horse of all time. His latest victory marked win number 34, moving him one ahead of the legendary Still William, whose long-standing record has remained unchallenged from 1967. It was truly a fitting moment for connections, with the record-breaking success coming at owner John Hegarty and Jennifer O'Kane's local track, where the horse has now recorded six of his incredible wins. Winged Leader continues to be a horse of a lifetime for the David Christie team, who deserve immense credit for producing him season after season in such exceptional form. He will continue to campaign in Opens.
