Recalling the day Envoi Allen began his march to the top
HAT-TRICK SEEKER: Envoi Allen having a roll at Cheltenham yesterday ahead of his bid to secure a third Cheltenham Festival win in today’s Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle. His journey to the summit began with a point-to-point victory over Appreciate It.
These are testing times for point-to-point producers, whose activity has been brought to a halt by Covid-19 restrictions due the categorisation of the circuit they use to advertise their stock as amateur or non-elite.
Just how influential the point-to-point circuit is will be advertised once again this week but by this evening, there’s a good chance that the Artic Tack Stud 4yo Maiden at Ballinaboola on February 4, 2018 may be viewed as the greatest maiden between the flags we may ever have seen.
