Injury forces Footy Facts to miss Cheltenham
Speaking at Leopardstown yesterday, Tyner reported: “He has a muscle problem in his shoulder and wasn’t even entered for Cheltenham. He will be out for a while, but I hope to have him back for Aintree.”
The dual bumper winner was very impressive when taking two races over flights, at Cork and Navan. His last run was in the Grade 1 Barry and Sandra Kelly Memorial Hurdle at Navan in December when Footy Facts was far from disgraced in finishing second behind Noel Meade’s Aran Concerto.
