ANY fears that horses could have left their Cheltenham Festivals behind at Leopardstown were ultimately unfounded. On the contrary, the Dublin Racing Festival horses excelled.

Footpad won the Arkle, Rathvinden won the National Hunt Chase, Samcro won the Ballymore Hurdle, Bleu Berry won the Coral Cup, Relegate won the Champion Bumper, Delta Work won the Pertemps Final, The Storyteller won the Brown Advisory Plate, Farclas won the Triumph Hurdle.
