Wendigo has been a star for Racing Club since joining Jamie Snowden’s, winning two of his three bumper races before excelling over hurdles, notably finishing runner-up in the Grade 1 Challow Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury before a gallant fifth in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at The Cheltenham Festival.
Trained by multiple Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer Jamie Snowden, Wendigo holds the accolade for being the first RC Syndicate winner, with his bumper win at Hexham back in November 2023. Having followed up to win under a penalty at Catterick, Wendigo has returned this season with a highly promising runner-up effort on hurdles debut at Hexham, in a race that saw the front two pull 17 lengths clear of the other runners.
Trainer Jamie Snowden was confident he will improve for going over hurdles, and he was proved right, having won twice and finished runner-up in two of the other three races, including the Grade 1 Challow Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury. The only time he finished outside the top two was when finishing fifth in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, where he was hampered at a crucial stage that put paid to his chances. Having impressed over hurdles, Jamie Snowden is confident he will be even better over fences, so we can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Wendigo has an impressive pedigree, with his sire Great Pretender producing multiple Grade 1 winners, including the likes of Greaneteen and Benie Des Dieux. He is a gorgeous 16”2 horse, who looks to have the makings of a top-class individual.
We’re confident Wendigo can continue to be a Grade 1 level horse in the future, and he’s sure to give us plenty of fun along the way!
