After being out of of action for 18 months due to injury, Chariot Charger won his 2011 debut. An amazing performance by both horse and trainer (Emma Lavelle). We all eagerly await his next racecourse visit! Finished out of the frame at Taunton on ground that was too quick, now looking for a novice chase on softer ground!
