Alpha Des Obeaux a star of Irish racing waiting to happen

Some day soon, very soon, Mouse Morris’ Alpha Des Obeaux is going to fulfil his undoubted potential and we will want to be with him.

At Fairyhouse last Sunday, he chased home Arctic Fire in the Grade 1 Hatton’s Grace Hurdle and it was yet another cracking effort on the part of the rising six-year-old, without enjoying the ultimate reward.

And that essentially sums up the life thus far of a horse who may yet develop into a star of Irish racing.
