That’s the name of the race.

Willie Mullins is considering options in Ireland and England as he plans Faugheen’s next race.

The nine-year-old made his first outing since winning last year’s Irish Champion Hurdle - an absence of 665 days - a triumphant one with an emphatic success in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown last Sunday.

Can someone clarify the above statement regarding Faugheens last win for me please, I don’t understand it

That’s a very straight forward statement mate. Which of the words are you struggling with?

I’d imagine there was a typo and 665 should be 365.

The layoff? The statement says he won last years race (2016) but its from two seasons ago as the 2017 race was in jan

Both factually correct if confusing

It was in a number of publications over the last couple of days

If it was 666 days the horse would have fallen, broken his leg and been shot.

Wrong. It’s nearly 2 years since he won the 2016 irish Champion hurdle

Its correct he hasnt ran since jan 16. The season isnt calendar year

Last year’s race which was 665 days ago

Not a typo. He won last years, so 2016. It was in Feb 2016 so 665 is correct I’d imagine

It’s very straight forward lads
