Beef or Salmon to run at Fairyhouse
Friday, 8 December 2006Beef Or Salmon will warm up for the Lexus Chase over Christmas with a spin over timber in the Irish Racing Yearbook Hurdle at Fairyhouse next Saturday.
The nine-times Grade One winner has landed the Leopardstown feature an amazing three times and trainer Michael Hourigan is hoping for a fourth victory on 28 December.
He said: 'He runs in a winners-of-one race at Fairyhouse next weekend over two and a half miles, which will be far enough in the ground.
'He has to work and he might as well run to keep his eye in and keep him fresh before going to Leopardstown over Christmas.'
Hourigan added the 10-year-old returned home to County Limerick without a mark on him after chasing home the brilliant Kauto Star in the Betfair Chase at Haydock last month.
