Irish Champions Weekend number three - Day 1. The great and the good in Irish racing head for Leopardstown, and hopefully a large section of the public will follow them.

The equine stars have set foot on Irish soil. We’ve watched the French stars arrive and envied Almanzor’s private plane landing him and Qemah at Dublin Airport. Through the social media channels we’ve watched him have a roll in his box, a trot on the track and a munch of his breakfast. Now we’re off to see him in the flesh.
