Former track star Prince De Beauchene destroys rivals

Point-To-Point: "Once a good horse, always a good horse".

Prince De Beauchene, a former eight-time track winner, once again underlined this accepted maxim by destroying the opposition on his point-to-point debut in the ladies open at yesterday’s Kilmoganny Hunt meeting at Cregg outside Carrick-On-Suir.

Prince De Beauchene, still trained by Willie Mullins but now owned by the handler’s son Patrick, drifted from 4/5 out to 5/4 in face of strong market support for fellow joint-favourite Davy From Milan.
