EVEN though the flat season was shortened significantly this summer, it felt terribly long in recent months to The Irish Field’s British racing tipster Rory Delargy, who was crowned Racing Post naps competition champion last Saturday, netting himself the first prize of £4,000.

Delargy, who previews and provides tips for the main British racing action every Saturday in this paper, top and tailed his season with two huge 40/1 winning naps, the second of which was Majestic Dawn, whose win in the Cambridgeshire was also pre-advised to The Irish Field readers.
