All eyes on Samcro

After winning his first Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival in February, obliterating the field dropping back to 2 miles, the unbeaten 6 year old will be aimed at the Ballymore Novice Hurdle (14/03/18) at the Cheltenham Festival against the likes of Next Destination and Getabird trained by Willie Mullins and instead of the Supreme.

Owner Michael O'Leary hopes the gelding (x Germany) proves himself to become a 3 mile chaser next season.
