Most impressive
Thu 23 Oct 2025
Winner 68 of 2025: HOW IMPRESSIVE, trained by Hugo Palmer, and ridden by Jason Watson. ‘Try Unibet's Superboosts Handicap’ over 7f at Kempton.
It is no lie to say that it was a rather rainy and miserable evening at Kempton, but this couldn’t stop many of his loyal owners from attending. And How Impressive’ spirit was clearly not dampened by the weather. He pinged the starting stalls under Jason Watson and stormed straight to the head of affairs, where he never met another rival, and kept on well in the closing stages to secure his 8th victory.
A remarkably impressive number of victories for any horse. And a rather Hall of Fame-worthy statistic for our good-looking and incredibly tough chestnut, as he placed or won on 20 occasions from 49 runs.
Huge well done to his owners, a very impressive performance from our now 6-year-old, who remains on top of his game. Shares are available, if you would like to join a fun syndicate around our winning most horse of 2024 - HOW IMPRESSIVE.
