Paisley Park team set to aim for Long Walk Hurdle
Third win in Ascot feature on the agenda.
Paisley Park may be kept over hurdles for the foreseeable future, according to owner Andrew Gemmell. The then-seven-year-old gave trainer Emma Lavelle the biggest win of her career to date when landing the 2019 Stayers’ Hurdle. And while Lavelle was considering the possibility of going chasing with the nine-year-old following Saturday’s Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury, where he finished 11 lengths third to Thomas Darby, connections are hopeful he may still have the ability to run over the smaller obstacles at the Cheltenham Festival.🐴 Paisley Park 🐴
For those who need their fix of him today, let’s spin back to his tremendous Stayers’ Hurdle triumph in 2019. #CheltenhamFestival #45DaysToGo #GreatFestivalMoments @ELavelleracing @AidanColeman pic.twitter.com/zdIptm8Hsx — Racing TV (@RacingTV) January 30, 2021
