Inca so Brave for the boys of Wexford

GOREY, Co Wexford trainer, Colm Murphy, was carried shoulder high into the winner’s enclosure after his Brave Inca had landed a massive gamble in the Letheby and Christopher Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham yesterday.

Brave Inca was backed from as high as 11-2 in the morning, ending a rock-solid 7-2 favourite on-course.

For Murphy, who learned much of his trade with Aidan O’Brien, it was the culmination of a long season’s planning.
