Filey Bay tops Betfair Hurdle market with Gaelic Warrior scratched
Gaelic Warrior was not confirmed for the race.
Filey Bay is the new 3-1 favourite for the Betfair Hurdle with the sponsors after Gaelic Warrior was taken out of the Newbury showpiece at the latest confirmation stage. Bought by JP McManus having won at Doncaster and Wincanton so far this season, the seven-year-old was promoted to favouritism in the absence of the Willie Mullins-trained Gaelic Warrior. Filey Bay is trained by Mullins’ nephew, Emmet, already a Grand National-winning trainer through Noble Yeats and he will be looking to add another notable race to his CV on February 11.👏 A big victory for @StanSheppard9 & @tflacey
