Flemenstar a serious talent, but stamina sapping tests yet to come

If the magnificent National Hunt racing we have been watching over the last week or so hasn’t got the juices flowing then you really are in the wrong game.

Pride of place surely has to go to Peter Casey’s Flemenstar, who was positively awesome on his seasonal reappearance at Navan last Sunday.

This was the horse’s sixth straight win and there is no doubt he is a serious talent. That said, quotes of between 7-1 and 9-1 are surely ridiculous for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
