Brendan O’Brien: Sizing Europe comes first for Henry De Bromhead

Henry De Bromhead may have finished third in the day’s feature race, but the trainer’s first point of order when the 10 runners in the Queen Mother Champion Chase returned was to make for the losers’ area.

It was only after that, only once he had checked on the well-being of Sizing Europe, that the trainer made for the winners’ circle, his fast trot betraying an understandable eagerness to soak up the latest rays of sunshine that came with Special Tiara’s effort.

That Sizing Europe came first in his affections is no surprise.
