American Mike handed Limerick Christmas aim
Youngster made a pleasing start to life over fences.
American Mike will bid to follow in the footsteps of Gerri Colombe when he heads to Limerick on Boxing Day for the Greenmount Park Novices’ Chase. Gerri Colombe won the first of his three Grade One novice chases in Limerick’s Christmas showpiece and American Mike appears poised for an immediate step up to the highest level having accounted for Champion Bumper runner-up Fact To File with an impressive chasing display at Navan on Sunday. Elliott is keen to stay at two-and-a-half miles for the time being with the six-year-old, who lost his way slightly over hurdles last season, but pleased his handler in his first start over the larger obstacles.That leap at the last 😍
American Mike is spring heeled at the last as he sees off the challenge from Fact To File to make a winning chase debut for a dominant @gelliott_racing team @NavanRacecourse this afternoon. A treble on the afternoon for @jackkennedy15 💪 pic.twitter.com/a8qTqDN1KJ— Racing TV (@RacingTV) November 19, 2023
