What A Friend strikes Lexus gold

What A Friend led home Money Trix to give the British raiders a 1-2 in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown.

Paul Nicholls’ youngster, second behind stablemate Denman in the Hennessy Gold Cup on his last start, was given a very patient ride by Sam Thomas, who would not have been on board if the race had taken place yesterday before the fog rolled in.
