IT'S time to start talking about the Irish National Hunt Trainer’s Championship again. We’ve been here before and we’re here now (and we’ll probably be here again next season).

It was another weekend that belonged to Gordon Elliott. The Cullentra battalions continue to complete successful missions, week on week, up and down the country. Since the start of November Elliott has got the better of his chief rival on every Sunday there has been racing in Ireland bar two (disincluding Christmas Eve).
