IN the space of two weeks, Richard Howley and his partner Morgan Kent (HK Sport Horses) have claimed four Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) tickets to the Speedibeet Grade C championship.

In the qualifier held at Nottinghamshire County Show, Morgan Kent headed the 67-starter class riding Dolores V, a horse Kent’s parents bought as a foal for their daughter’s 21st birthday. Using her late draw to best advantage, Kent cut every conceivable inch from the course to post a 0.5 second-winning margin.
