Le Leopard poised to pounce for victory

LE LEOPARD, despite the fact the conditions of the contest are against him, gets the nap to take the October Race at Thurles this afternoon.

The handicapper believes Aidan O’Brien’s High Country is the proverbial good thing and time may well reveal the folly of going against his judgement.

High Country has 12lbs in hand of the selection at these weights and, obviously, has to be respected.
