    Not too many races Yorkhill doesn't have an entry in
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    It appears to be called the ‘Leopardstown Christmas Chase’, Ed......odd that no-one has stepped in to snap-up what is always a hugely popular event.

    It was announced just over three weeks ago https://www.racingpost.com/news/lexu...grade-1/308985

    - you would have thought they would have had a contractual commitment for this year; too late to find anyone else I suspect.

    mullins suggesting the lexus for yorkhill fwiw. seems the plan is for faugheen to stay home rather than go to kempton as you'd expect.

    The beginners chases might be quite hot because the going through December has been pretty desperate and some have been waiting for the better ground that you usually get here.

    A pretty depressing race and likely to be a walkover for whichever of the Mullins pair turns up unless Ball D'Arc can step up significantly.

    Whereas Willie could give us a Xmas present and run both Un De Sceaux and Min. Yeah, like that'll happen.

    I normally take a group of ~10 to Leop on 27th. Those who know me will tell that I am a notorious tightwad regarding money so if anybody gets free tickets from PP and aren't inclined to use them let me know.
