2022 Stayers Hurdle Winner: Flooring Porter - 4/1
- Horse Age 7
- Jockey Danny Mullins
- Trainer Gavin Cromwell
- Owner Flooring Porter Syndicate
- Starting Price 4/1
Description
In 2022, Flooring Porter returned to the race as Champion, looking to be the first horse since the legendary Big Buck's to win back-to-back renditions of the race. He was the beneficiary of a poor start from long-term rival Klassical Dream but as the saying goes, you can only beat who you're up against as Flooring Porter eased to victory.
2021 Stayers Hurdle Winner: Flooring Porter - 12/1
- Horse Age 6
- Jockey Danny Mullins

- Owner Flooring Porter Syndicate
- Starting Price 12/1
Description
Flooring Porter picked up his first Stayers Hurdle victory with success in 2021, after 5 horses pulled up and previous champion Lisnagar Oscar fell early on, it looked like the favourite Paisley Park would go on to victory before eventual winner Flooring Porter and French horse Sire Du Berlais overtook the horse causing an upset victory.

2000-2009 Stayers Hurdle Winners

| 2000, | Bacchanal | Mick Fitzgerald | Nicky Henderson | 11/2 |
*No Race in 2001
A decade of repeat winners was fantastic for betting fans as Baracouda and Inglis Drever won a number of races during this period and we also saw the rise of Big Buck's as he won the 2009 race. Ironically, Big Buck's fantastic run was nearly replicated years earlier but Inglis Drever was ruled out of the 2006 race with a season ending tendon injury which saw My Way de Solzen win the 2006 race which would end up being a iconic race in history as the splitter between Inglis Drever's wins.
