Salmon is Hourigan's pride and joy
Beef Or Salmon, Ireland’s main hope for Thursday’s Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup, is rated superior to stable companion Dorans Pride in his prime, trainer Michael Hourigan revealed today.
A top-class performer at his best, Dorans Pride won the 1995 Stayers’ Hurdle at the Festival before twice finishing third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1997 and 1998 for Hourigan.
