EUROPE TEAM FAVOUR CLONMEL

Henry de Bromhead is leaning towards running Sizing Europe in the Clonmel Oil Chase on November 15 after soft ground scuppered his intention to try three miles again at Down Royal on Saturday.

Second in the previous two runnings of the JNwine.com Champion Chase, De Bromhead was eager to see his charge run over the trip on good ground, but overnight rain turned the conditions soft
O'BRIENS CLAIM TITLE DOUBLE

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...double&day=Mon

Quote:
Joseph O'Brien put the seal on another brilliant year for his famous family when winning his first jockeys' championship at the age of 19 as the Irish Flat season closed at Leopardstown.

Champion apprentice only a year ago, and joint-champion the season before, O'Brien junior showed how much he had grown into the real deal in such a short time despite having a constant battle with his weight.

It is over 60 years since a jockey was crowned champion apprentice one year and champion jockey the next.
