Punchestown 2009
April 27th, 2009 by iaintThe biggest race on Friday is the Irish Champion Hurdle and the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle, run at Wetherby in December, could be the most informative form guide.
Punjabi, winner of the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle and the Champion Hurdle last season goes for another victory in the race and Sublimity, runner up at Wetherby seeks revenge after a below par run at Cheltenham in March. A problem with the breathing has since been dealt with and on the faster ground he could run a very big race. However, he will have it all to do with Pubjabi, who is rumoured to be in even better form than Cheltenham.
