See More Business, a small, plain bay gelding with a low, economical style of jumping, began his racing career in 1995/96, competing in point-to-points, over hurdles and in steeplechases. With his win of the prestigious King George VI Chase at Kempton in 1997, and two more good wins under his belt prior to the Cheltenham Gold Cup of 1998, he started favorite, but was carried out at the 13th fence, as a
horse was pulled up. He did not win again until 1999, when, outfitted with
blinkers, he beat a fine field for his Cheltenham Gold Cup win, showing the
determination of the stayer that he is. He has since added a second King George
VI Chase win, a Martell Cup win, and several other good races to his
impressive list. He placed fourth in his third Gold Cup run
in 2000. Having won the Pillar Chase early in the year, he was one of the
favorites for the cancelled Gold Cup race of 2001, and in 2002, at age 12, placed third in that event. Bred in Britain and foaled out in Ireland, See More is by the British
flat-racing staying sire, Seymour Hicks, and out of an unraced mare, Miss
Redlands (by Dubassoff), who was tried at show jumping. For an informative tribute to See More Business by Lee Ann Day and Steve Parrott, please visit See More Business. |
