Further Flight (3 May 1986 – July 2001) was an Irish-bred, British-trained thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the Jockey Club Cup for five successive years.
[1] He became a favourite of the British racing public, competing in and winning long-distance events in a career that lasted from 1988 to 1998.
1994 brought a fourth Jockey Club Cup[6] and a win in a listed event at Newmarket.
By 1995, it was clear that his very best days were behind him, but wins at Haydock and Doncaster were followed by a fifth victory in the Jockey Club Cup.
His longevity and consistency, combined with his distinctive racing style and easily recognisable grey coat made him a popular favourite.
