Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle 2023 Result

17:30 Friday 17 March 2023

MARTIN PIPE CONDITIONAL JOCKEYS' HANDICAP HURDLE (2)

Distance: 2m 4f 56y (New)
Prize: £39,022 Rated: (0-145) Age: 4yo+ Race Type: Hurdle Going: Gd/Sft

A race won by Willie Mullins or Gordon Elliott 5 times in the space of 8 years up to 2021 - when Gold Cup winner Galopin des Champs landed it for the former - but despite fielding 9 of the 21 runners between them neither could muster a finisher in the frame this time, due in no small part to some harsh - and in a few cases clearly over the top - treatment by the BHA handicapper, a British contingent which looked thin on potential overall filling 3 of the first 4 places in a well-run race.

Non Runners: VULTAN (IRE) , WONDERWALL (IRE) , GROZNI (FR) , HEY JOHNNY (IRE) , INNATENDUE (FR) . Hurdles: 10.

Winning Owner: Mr John P. McManus

Time: 5m 3.3s
