Hennessy unconcerned by Gold Cup delay

Robbie Hennessy feels putting thetote.com Punchestown Gold Cup back to tomorrow from Wednesday will have no ill effects on Rubi Light.

Because the trainer’s County Meath base is less than an hour away from the course, Rubi Light remained tucked up in his box while the decision to re-arrange the Grade One feature was made because of the heavy rain that has hit the track this week.

“Everything is grand. It’s not been a bother. I’m only about 40 minutes from the track so the horse never even left his stables,” said Hennessy.
