Brian Kavanagh remains optimistic about Irish Horses travel to Cheltenham 14 January 2021
Irish racing officially remains optimistic regarding Irish horses being able to travel in strength to the Cheltenham Festival, which will be held two months from now.
There have been rumors speculating that the coronavirus pandemic and the travel ban that has been sanctioned, to reduce the spread and fight against the virus, could have a negative impact on the amounts of Irish racers at the most popular festival of the year.
In the past, in the four days course event at Cheltenham big-name trainers like Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins have up to 60 runners present for the festival. Adding that number up with the amount of stable staff will see the event filled up.
