Rooster Booster Aiming At Big Haydock Park Hurdle On May 7 Rooster Booster, the winner of the 2003 Champion Hurdle, is being aimed at the £70,000 Stanleybet Handicap Hurdle at Haydock Park on Saturday, May 7, confirmed trainer Philip Hobbs today (Friday, April 29, 2005).The hurdler, now 11 years old, bounced back to form last time out at Sandown, winning the Concept Hurdle on April 22 by four lengths from Self Defense.Retirement had been contemplated for the grey after that race but, following discussions between the trainer and owner Terry Warner, the plan is to carry on racing.Hobbs said today: 'The Stanleybet Handicap Hurdle at Haydock is very much the plan. Rooster Booster is in good order after his win the other day and seems very well in himself.'Entries for the Stanleybet Handicap Hurdle over two miles close on Monday, May 2.
