Breedsbreeze destroys opposition

CLASS is permanent.

The William Codd-trained Breedsbreeze, winner of the 2008 renewal of the Grade 1 Feltham Novices’ Chase at Kempton when under the care of Paul Nicholls, certainly vindicated this accepted maxim by destroying the opposition in the 22-runner open at yesterday’s marathon Kilkenny Foxhounds point-to-point meeting at Milltown.

Breedsbreeze (6/1), a creditable fourth on his return to points duty at Dromahane two weeks earlier, travelled stylishly en-route to picking up the running after the penultimate of the 15 obstacles. The victorious nine-year-old then displayed his track pace in the closing stages by storming clear to repel The Mull by two and a half lengths with the mare Tally Em Up running an excellent race to return a further seven lengths adrift in third spot.
