That’s Nice (IRE): A Rising Star in National Hunt Racing

In horse racing, there’s always excitement around fresh talent, and That’s Nice (IRE) is quickly becoming one to watch. Trained by Nicky Henderson, this bay filly has made headlines with an eye-catching performance at Warwick, combining speed with impressive jumping ability.

By Walk In The Park (IRE) out of Bloody Mary (FR), That’s Nice showcased her natural talent over hurdles in her recent Class 4 Novices’ Hurdle win over 2 miles and 3 furlongs. Even after a slight mistake, she handled the course confidently, with jockey Nico de Boinville guiding her to victory with ease.

Her win has sparked plenty of buzz, and while there’s talk of a run in the Mares’ Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham, some insiders are cautiously managing expectations. Still, her versatility on Good to Soft ground opens up exciting opportunities for the rest of the season.

Henderson, renowned for developing top-tier talent, seems to have another star in the making. With stamina to burn, That’s Nice might take on longer distances and, in time, transition to chasing—a proven path to success for many in the Henderson stable.

For now, her racing career is the priority, but her pedigree hints at potential beyond the track. If her progress continues, That’s Nice could become a regular in the winner’s enclosure, even at some of the biggest events in the National Hunt calendar.

Keep an eye on That’s Nice (IRE)—she might just be the next big name lighting up the track.
