Photos - Hennessy Gold Cup Day, Leopardstown

[robertob]

Wind, rain and the sun... we had it all on Sunday at Leopardstown, in addition to the four Grade 1's on the card of course! Personally I was very happy to see Tidal Bay finally in flesh, as I missed him when he won the Lexus in 2012 here. What a handsome animal he is... surely doesn't look like a 13 year old senior. In fact he looks as healthy, happy and enthusiastic like a 2yo colt usually does... Ivan Grozny - hot favourite for the Sprint Juvenile Hurdle Guitar Pete - winner of the Sprint Juvenile Hurdle Last Instalment Lughnasa chasing home Lipinski in the Mares Handicap Hurdle Carlingford Lough Draycott Place - one of the worst horses ever to run in a G1? Beaten 65l in a NHF & 40l in a maiden hurdle in 2 career starts before Vautour made it all to win the Deloite Novice Chase Tidal Bay Tidal Bay Never Enough Time - impressive winner of the 2m Handicap Hurdle under 7lb claimer Ger Fox Don Cossack Don Cossack Up and running in the Gold Cup

Re: Photos - Hennessy Gold Cup Day, Leopardstown Nice to see TB again, looks like he will only have one more run before retiring, (in the National). Cheers Florien :ok
