Christie's Foxhunter Chase Challenge Cup (Class 2) 3m2½f

Quote:
SALSIFY, ridden by Colman Sweeney on a horse owned by his mother and trained by his father, came from near last to win the Christie's Foxhunter Chase under a fine waiting ride.

In the early stages the pair were settled some 20 lengths off the pace and with a circuit to go they were even further back. However Sweeney was incredibly patient and picked his moment, waiting well into the home straight to deliver his challenge.
