Beef Or Salmon main course at Cheltenham for Irish punters

IF the Hennessy Gold Cup is anything to go by, next month’s pilgrimage to Cheltenham could be one for the record books.

For the fashion conscious, the best of the action had nothing to do with racing, but even the disinterested couldn’t resist a flutter on yesterday’s big race.

Although his name would suggest a main course, Beef Or Salmon provided the perfect appetiser for punters looking forward to Cheltenham with a reassuring win in yesterday’s Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown.
