Big City Roller

Big City Roller is a striking 5-year-old gelding, in training with Charlie Longsdon. He possesses a lovely dual-purpose pedigree and is already proving to be an exciting horse.

Big City Roller ran in two English Point-to-Points, winning his Maiden at Sheriff Hutton for Gina and Tom Ellis in very promising style. He proved himself a tough character in what was testing ground while giving away over a stone in weight.

He has since run twice under rules, making an impressive winning start on his debut over hurdles at Carlisle on October 26th 2023.

This win was an especially pleasing run as we have always felt that Big City Roller will really come into his own when he goes chasing. It was a huge bonus and bodes really well for the future.

Big City Roller followed that win up with a second place performance, beating the Mick Fitzgerald Racing Club horse, Paddy De Pole, who has since gone on to win three races in a row.

Charlie Longsdon is delighted with everything he has seen from Big City Roller so far, informing us that he is ” a big, scopey horse” with a “good easy action” who “moves beautifully”. Charlie's current plan for the 2024/25 season is to run Big City Roller over hurdles again before sending him chasing.

Big City Roller sustained a small injury in January of this year and following a successful operation is now in recovery. We are expecting him to return to training in the Summer ahead of an exciting season for his owners.
