Hogmaneigh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hogmaneigh was a Scottish-trained flat race horse, trained by Stuart Williams and Jim Goldie.[1][2] In June 2007, Hogmaneigh won the Vodafone Dash on Derby Day at Epsom,[3] and in September 2008 won the Portland Handicap at Doncaster.[4] His owner was Lucille Bone.[5]
He made his racecourse debut as a two-year-old in September 2005 at Ayr.[6] The following year, Hogmaneigh was favourite for the Ayr Gold Cup, which is the richest handicap in Europe, but finished 13th.[7]
In September 2008, it was well publicised in the British press that Hogmaneigh had a problem with his feet and that Stuart Williams was buying specially made shoes for him.[8]
In 2009, his new trainer Jim Goldie entered Hogmaneigh in to the Porland Handicap, hoping for a second win.[9]
