Salsify confirmed his position as the leading hunter chaser in Britain and Ireland when justifying 6/4 favouritism in the W S Recycling Stratford Foxhunters Champion Hunters’ Chase.
Very patiently ridden by Colman Sweeney for his father Rodger, the seven-year-old struck the front at the final fence of this three and a half mile test and was just pushed out to beat That’s Rhythm (14/1) by two and a quarter lengths.
Oca De Thaix helped set a very strong pace along with Earth Dream, and the 100/1 outsider kept on gamely in the straight to take third a further ten lengths adrift.
Zemsky failed to land a blow inside the final mile of this £25,000 event.
Alan has worked in the racing industry for well over 30 years including with the Sporting Life, Turform and Irish Racing Services. He took up his current role as Irish Racing Team Leader with the Press Association in 2013. He has a keen interest in most sports and plays golf.
