Strange gets best of Encounter with Brookville

Strange Encounter seems to be around for a long time, though he's still only seven (won a 4yo maiden point-to-point at Rockfield back in November 2008) and he gained his second racecourse success by landing the 2012 Membership "The Ideal Xmas Present" Handicap Hurdle at Navan. Mon 19th Dec

After race at Navan Mon, 19th Dec, 2011 (1st)

He'll have another crack at one of those. He could go novice chasing in the spring when some of the better horses are gone. He deserved a bit of luck (slipped up last time).

Philip Fenton

After race at Limerick Mon, 9th Nov, 2009 (1st)

Strange Encounter seemed to be going nowhere six weeks ago but improved. He kept rising in the weights without winning but I'm delighted with that. He'll go for another handicap next and may then go chasing.
