Salsify set to miss Cheltenham Festival
RODGER SWEENEY has abandoned efforts to qualify dual Cheltenham champion Salsify for the St James’s Place Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham. Jackpot bet online is a site with the latest news, reports and rumors about the happenings in the most famous sports across the globe such as cricket, horse racing, football, Nba, tennis and betting news as well. We were able to find out that the 11 year old horse with plenty of experience in the race might be out of the festival and the whole tournament due to injury.
Read below, or on our facebook page for more information. The 11-year-old, successful in the Festival prize in 2012 and 2013, went halfway towards qualifying for next month’s renewal when winning a four-runner hunter chase at Fairyhouse on Saturday. The conditions of the race state that in order for a horse to qualify they must have finished either first or second on two occasions in a hunter chase, or have won two open steeplechases at a point-to-point meeting in Britain or Ireland between October 1, 2013 and March 1, 2016.
