Schindlers shines for on–song Hughes

IT really is a shame Schindlers Hunt cannot go to Cheltenham for the Arkle Trophy.

As has been well documented, Dessie Hughes’ charge was left out of the entries due to a clerical error.

At Leopardstown yesterday the seven-year-old emphasised he is easily the best we have to offer as far as two milers are concerned with a decent performance to land the Bailey’s Arkle Cup, on an afternoon which only got better for his Curragh handler.
