Big three head very strong Champion entry

IRELAND’S big three of Ardkill Jamie, Razldazl Billy and Si Senor head the exceptionally strong entry for the two-run Boylesports Champion Stakes which is set to commence at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night.

Their presence alone will guarantee massive crowds at headquarters over the coming two weekends but there is no way that this €40,000 to the winner event can be regarded as merely a three-dog affair.

Far from it, with the likes of defending champion Large Mac, Derby favourite Bar The Devil, St Leger winner Lughill Jo, Produce Stakes favourite Team Captain, Cesarewitch winner Micks Savings and English Derby finalist Ullid Conor among the rivals.
