News
Famous Bridge is likely to run next in the Ultima handicap chase Nicky Richards told the Punter. He finished 4th last year, and as he will miss the cut for the Grand National it is an obvious target. If the ground is soft at Ayr for the Scottish national, that is also a possibility
The Punter pays its respects to Jockey Michael O’Sullivan, we take jockeys for granted a lot of the time.
And also sadly, to Delta Work. Last year's Grand National runner-up Delta Work, one of Gordon Elliott's finest stable stalwarts over the last decade, has died at the age of 12 following a bout of colic.
A three-time Cheltenham Festival winner during a stellar career, Delta Work won the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase in 2022, famously beating the legendary Tiger Roll after a thrilling tussle, and he won it again the following year, too. He also won the Pertemps Final in 2018. Before switching his attention to the cross-country scene, Delta Work won five Grade 1s over fences and was successful in the Savills Chase and Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown during the best season, the 2019-2020 campaign. He was fifth to Al Boum Photo in the Cheltenham Gold Cup afterwards.
