Champions’ Weekend clearly revolving around Australia

Leopardstown sets the ball rolling on Saturday, September 13, with the Curragh the following day, clashing with the start of the Listowel festival.
The highlight, of course, will be the QIPCO Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown and all those involved in promoting these two meeting will literally be on their hands and knees praying that nothing happens to prevent Australia meeting this engagement. Because, make no mistake about it, the possibility of the major innovation proving a big success very much centres around the appearance of Aidan O’Brien’s superstar.
