Meade targets Champion pay-day with Road To Riches

Noel Meade hopes to run Galway Plate winner Road To Riches in the JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal on November 1.

Meade has always rated the seven-year-old highly and he is now beginning to repay that faith.

After his lucrative win at Galway he pushed the evergreen veteran Sizing Europe all the way at Gowran Park and while he will be running over three miles over fences for the first time next month, Meade feels he will stay the distance.
