Champion Hurdle 2007
You might want to watch the 2007 race a few times as 5 of the last 8 Champion hurdle winners had filled a place in the previous years race. Sublimity was unlucky not to make that stat 6/8 as he was hampered by a loose horse at the turn in 2006. Will Sublimity win back to back Champion Hurdles or can Afsoun turn the form around?1 Sublimity 16/1 Trained by J Carr Ridden by P A Carberry
2 Brave Inca 11/2
3 Afsoun 28/1
An Irish victory yet again in the Champion Hurdle but perhaps not to the horse that most would have expected.
Brave Inca and Hardy Eustace battled out the early lead and were joined by the ridden along favourite Detroit City who never really looked comfortable.
Iktitaf looked to be going well but a fall brought his challenge to an end and this left Sublimity seemingly able to pick off his two more illustrious countrymen whenever he chose as he was going extremely easily. He took up the lead jumping the last and powered away for an impressive win in the top hurdle race of the year.
