|} The Swinton Handicap Hurdle, known for sponsorship purposes as the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle, is a Grade 3 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Haydock Park over a distance of 2 miles (3,219 metres), and during its running there are nine hurdles to be jumped. It is a handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year in May. The event was established in 1978, and it was initially sponsored by Royal Doulton. The winner of the inaugural race collected just over £20,000, making it the fourth most lucrative prize behind the Grand National, Cheltenham Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle.〔(toteswinger Swinton Hurdle ), haydock-park.co.uk, accessed 4 December 2009.〕 Subsequent sponsors have included Swinton Insurance (1985–93), Crowther and Merewood Homes (1994–2003) and Betfred (2006–07) and Totesport (2008-11). The present sponsors, Pertemps, began supporting the race in 2012. The Swinton Handicap Hurdle takes place at a meeting which features both jump and flat racing. ==Records== Most successful horse (2 wins): * Dreams End – ''1994, 1997'' * Eradicate - ''2010, 2011'' Leading jockey (2 wins): * Andy Turnell – ''Beacon Light (1979), Secret Ballot (1982)'' * David Bridgwater - ''Winnie the Witch (1991), Tragic Hero (1996)'' * Graham Lee - ''Coat of Honour (2005), Blue Bajan (2008)'' * Paul Moloney - ''Barizan (2013), Ballyglasheen (2014)'' Leading trainer (4 wins): * Martin Pipe – ''Corporal Clinger (1985), Tragic Hero (1996), Rainbow Frontier (1998), Acambo (2006)'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swinton Handicap Hurdle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
