Artic completes hat-trick

Pride Of The Artic, the outsider of three runners, produced a fine display to land the John F McGuire Novice Chase at Listowel yesterday.

He is trained in Co Kildare by Peter Fahey, owned by his brother, Brendan, and was ridden by his brother-in-law, Andrew Leigh.

The seven-year-old was completing a hat-trick of successes and this was a decent effort, considering both of his rivals were in receipt of 5lbs.
