Sir Gino Wins BetMGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle

Sir Gino showcased an impressive performance by winning the BetMGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle, stepping in for the injured Constitution Hill. The unbeaten four-year-old demonstrated his potential for novice chasing with a commanding display, finishing eight lengths ahead of the competition. Jockey Nico de Boinville expressed gratitude for the race conditions and highlighted Sir Gino's talent, noting that the horse's only minor mistake occurred when he was pulled wide to avoid being hemmed in. Meanwhile, market rival Mystical Power struggled, indicating a disappointing outing. Following this victory, Sir Gino has emerged as a strong contender, now positioned as the 3/1 second favorite for the Unibet Champion Hurdle.
