Re: A racehorse owned by a syndicate from Pembrokeshire which was a favourite to win at this year's Cheltenham Festival, has lost.
Tobefair, a seven-year-old gelding, has won his last seven races.
He was gifted as a colt to Michael Cole three years ago, in return for looking after two fillies on his farm.
Unable to afford the training costs on his own, he decided to offer 50% of the ownership to people he knew through his local pub, the Cresselly Arms at Cresswell Quay Quay.
The syndicate grew to 17 members but none except Mr Cole had owned a racehorse before.
They said they were amazed when Tobefair started winning races and never dreamed he would make it to Cheltenham. « less
