BETWAY QUEEN MOTHER CHAMPION CHASE (Grade 1) (1) |
Distance: 1m 7f 199y (Old) |
| Prize: £225,080 Age: 5yo+ Race Type: Chase | Going: Gd/Sft |
With the winners of this season's Irish 2m Grade 1 chases Blue Lord and Gentleman de Mee missing, for the second year running a Champion Chase that was essentially a rematch from the Clarence House Chase, but as in 2022 the anticipated clash failed to materialise, Shishkin flopping a year ago, Edwardstone and Editeur du Gite both a long way below the form they'd shown 7 weeks previously this time around; as last season, it was Energumene who made the most of the opportunity left to him, scoring with a lot in hand after cruising through a race that wasn't that well run, the performance among the best of his career, age - only Moscow Flyer, Sprinter Sacre and Special Tiara have won this at 10 or older this century - and stable-companion El Fabiolo the main threats to his winning a third Champion Chase in 2024; the stewards looked into interference on the bend and suspended Paul Townend for 5 days for careless riding, having allowed his mount to drift left-handed when insufficiently clear, causing interference to his 2 closest rivals.
