Teofilo and Emperor set for battle royal

WON’T it be great if Holy Roman Emperor and Teofilo go head-to-head in Sunday’s Group One National Stakes at the Curragh?

That certainly has the makings of a race to savour and the winner would surely have to be regarded as the best two-year-old in these islands.

Jim Bolger, not given to making silly statements, is on record as saying Teofilo is the best colt he has ever trained.
