Plenty to ponder for Elliott as Romeo plays it a little too Coolio before Leopardstown burst

Relative to what is to come for the remainder of the meeting, Friday in Leopardstown was quite low-key. The highlight, however, was undoubtedly the manner in which Romeo Coolio overcame adversity in the Grade One Racing Post Novice Chase, to maintain his unbeaten record over fences.
Immediately after the race, trainer Gordon Elliott said that the distance was on the short side for him and that he will be going out in trip after this. That came after he was apparently caught flat-footed when Irish Panther went for home before two out.
