If a week is a long time in politics, then a year can feel like an eternity in jump racing. Rumour has it that when Henry de Bromhead was heading home from Punchestown at the conclusion of his divine 2021 season that he parked his car on the east bank of Rice Bridge in Waterford and walked across the River Suir. Following this week’s glum performances of stable superstars such as Bob Olinger, Minella Indo, and Envoi Allen, he’d probably feels he’d sink directly to the bottom. Hopefully, his beloved Honeysuckle can ease the pain a little today.
