Punchestown Festival: Paisley Park set for Irish debut

Punchestown Festival: Paisley Park set for Irish debut

By Racing TV
Last Updated: Tue 5 Dec 2023
Paisley Park will skip Aintree in favour of a first trip to Ireland for the Grade One Champion Stayers Hurdle at next month’s Punchestown Festival.
The Emma Lavelle-trained 10-year-old ran a fine race in the Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham on Thursday, finishing third to Flooring Porter and Thyme Hill in a bid to regain the crown he claimed in 2019, being beaten a nose for second.
Lavelle said: “Paisley is absolutely perfect, I just wish he’d had a longer nose. As things stand we would like to go to Punchestown with him.
“Andrew (Gemmell, owner) is keen to go, and I think he will cope with the track there better.
“At Aintree everything happens very quickly, and we are agreed that in Ireland it should be more suitable.”
One of the most popular horses in training, Paisley Park had returned to winning ways at Cheltenham in January when taking the Cleeve Hurdle for the third time – an extraordinary performance as he had lost many lengths at the start when Aidan Coleman had to coax him to set off.

“Nervous” jockey rides 50/1 winner on Rules debut! 👏

Molly Armytage celebrated a remarkable success on her first ride under rules as Enqarde sprang a huge 50-1 surprise in the 2m6½f hunter chase. Armytage, daughter of 1990 Grand National-winning jockey Marcus Armytage – who rode Mr Frisk to victory and later became a racing journalist – appears to have inherited a natural talent for the saddle. She had already enjoyed her first point-to-point winner over the weekend, and her dream run continued here.

Young jockey rides 50/1 winner on first start under Rules! | Racing TV

Molly Armytage celebrated a remarkable success on her first ride under rules as Enqarde sprang a huge 50-1 surprise in the 2m6½f hunter chase. Armytage, daughter of 1990 Grand National-winning jockey Marcus Armytage – who rode Mr Frisk to victory and later became a racing journalist – appears to have inherited a natural talent for the saddle. She had already enjoyed her first point-to-point winner over the weekend, and her dream run continued here. The 12-year-old, trained by Celia Plunkett, powered home to win by 14 lengths in impressive fashion. Speaking to Racing TV, she said: “He was just brilliant – I can’t believe it. I thought at one stage he might get beaten because of the way he was jumping, but he travelled so strongly throughout that I stayed calm. As long as I kept things together and didn’t let the race slip away, I knew we’d be okay. “Dad joked that I’d probably fall off after Sunday! I’m absolutely delighted.” Enqarde was making his first appearance since finishing second in a point-to-point at Chaddesley Corbett last April. Despite concerns about whether the distance might be on the sharp side and fears he could be over-prepared, Armytage was thrilled to see him prove the doubters wrong. “We felt the trip might be a bit short for him and I was worried he’d been overcooked, but he was absolutely perfect,” she added. #horseracing Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
