20 up for evergreen Peregrine The evergreen Peregrine Run recorded an unprecedented twentieth career success at Chepstow on Saturday afternoon, getting up in the closing stages under Sam Ewing to land the valuable Native River Handicap Chase. A most wonderful servant to Peter Fahey and owner/breeder Vincent Byrne, the son of King's Theatre recorded his first victory way back in August of 2015, claiming a bumper at Killarney under Katie Walsh. He has since won six times over flights, twelve over fences and once on the level. Sent off a 15/2 chance for this 50,000 pound contest, the King's Theatre bay was third jumping the second last but stayed on stoutly on the run-in to reel-in Tea Clipper, with a neck the margin of victory. Speaking on At The Races after his latest win, Fahey said: "He is a credit to everyone and I'm just delighted for everyone involved with him. "I know he is twelve and he'll get another hike for this win but he went up to his highest mark ever on the Flat after his last run at Down Royal and he comes out here and wins this today." "He is just a dream, a dream to have," Fahey's wife Ber added.
