Rich Ricci rues ‘galling’ setbacks

Rich Ricci admits Monday’s revelation that Faugheen and Min will miss the Cheltenham Festival represents a “galling” double setback.

The colourful owner has had a trying season.

In November, three-time festival winner Vautour was killed in a freak accident while last month saw Annie Power, last year’s Cheltenham Champion Hurdle winner, ruled out of this year’s festival.
