Talking Horses: nail-biting times as Kemboy owners seek Savills entry


A deadline is looming for the classy chaser, deregistered along with other Supreme Horse Racing Club runners recently

An end could be imminent to the barrier that prevents entries being made for Kemboy, according to his trainer, Willie Mullins. The triple Grade One-winner, currently second-favourite for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, became deregistered when the Supreme Horse Racing Club was recently barred from owning racehorses, but efforts are being made to get him re-registered in the name of the Supreme members who paid for shares in him.

The importance of getting this done quickly lies in the fact that noon on Wednesday brings the deadline for entries to the Savills Chase, Irelands equivalent of the King George and a very valuable contest which Kemboy won last year. If he can be re-registered by then, it will cost his owners just 700 to enter. If that deadline is missed, they might end up paying 17,500 to supplement him on 19 December; clearly those involved would like to avoid that, but even that would be better than missing the race altogether, given the horses earning potential.
