Kyper Disco's History: Kyper has been with us since 2001, after Nicky spotted him at a 'breeze up' sale in France and bought him instantly for the syndicate. During his first season, Kyper ran twice for NewROG both at Newbury in National Hunt Flat Races (bumpers) where he was beaten by stablemate, Mel in Blue, into second by a very short head first time out and then finished a respectable fifth behind Lord Sam later that month (March 2002) in a particularly hotly contested race. The 2002-2003 season saw Kyper graduate to hurdles and he ran three times for NewROG. First time out at the Hennessy Meeting at Newbury, Kyper thrilled all of his owners by finishing third, only two lengths behind Rhinestone Cowboy (Far Horizon being 2nd) in a seriously competitive novices' hurdle race. Our second outing was at Fontwell on bottomless ground where Kyper was made to make all the running by the rest of the field and after leading the entire way round we were beaten on the 'nod' by the shortest of heads in a photo-finish. Unlucky wasn't the word for it! Kyper's final race of the season was at Folkestone over the longer trip of 2.5 miles on nearly un-raceable ground.
