Salsify shrugged aside any notion that the ground would be against him as he cemented his position at the head of the hunter chasing tree when dishing out a comprehensive beating to his rivals in the Racing Post Champion Hunter Chase at Punchestown. Fri 26th Apr

Friday's Punchestown Preview

3:40pm There's the the usual eccentricity to this event with the 2009 and 2010 winners renewing rivalries. Shin A Vee won in 2009 but was narrowly beaten by COOL WARRIOR the following year and, while Derek O'Connor is a notable booking, Shin A Vee has been absent for 772 days and is now passed over. Preference is for 12 year old COOL WARRIOR, who at least has proven fitness on his side. The other 14 runners have mustered just 10 point to points wins between them and finding a form alternative to either of the two previous winners is difficult. Ten year old Norwich Flyer has three point to point wins to his name though and may play a prominent roll while Enniskillen, who worringly is still a maiden point to pointer, ran ok in the Ladies Cup on Tuesday and has minor claims. The Begrudger is a dual point to point winner a long time ago but hasn't shown anything worth mentioning recently. (TW) Fri 26th Apr

After race at Cork Mon, 28th Mar, 2016 (1st)

He was out in front a long time and was idling away - my old heart gave a bit of a jump at one stage!. We'll see how he comes out of this but while we'll look at Aintree, it'll probably be Punchestown next. He still has the same old sparkle and will definitely come back again next season.

Rodger Sweeney

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 20th Feb, 2016 (1st)

He was injured in 2014 and got injured again at Cheltenham in 2015 but he seems to be back there in a big way. He jumped well, and we'll have to have a look at the rule book now. I think he needs to win a point-to-point to qualify for Cheltenham, so he may go for an open race next weekend. Otherwise he will stay at home and go for the Tetratema at Gowran.

The horse did the talking. He's grand in his own company. Like Fiery Oscar, the other side of Cashel!

After race at Leopardstown Sat, 9th Feb, 2013 (1st)

the ground was a bit drier today . it was sticky crossing the road and from the turn-in to the last it was soft but other that that it was better than I thought. He is coming along nicely now and is timing it just right. He'll get a week off after this and then we'll aim him at Cheltenham. Hopefully he'll come on another bit and he's at the same stage as where he was last year.

Rodger Sweeney

After race at Clonmel Thu, 3rd Feb, 2011 (1st)

He won a point-to-point at Lisronagh two runs ago and last time in a winners' of two at Lisgoold was in front when he fell at the last,. He'll go for another hunters chase next.
