Gordon Elliott is the man they couldn’t hang. His extraordinary haul of 13 winners over the four days of the Leopardstown Festival represented a remarkable renaissance for a man who embodies sporting resilience.
Elliott’s €922,275 lead over Willie Mullins in the trainers’ championship is his largest ever at this time of the year, €365,143 greater than the lead he held at New Year in 2018.
