HURRICANE FLY V Jezki. The old king and the new one. Ruby Walsh v Tony McCoy.
With such a billing, it’s easy to see why the Grade 1 Ryanair Hurdle was the highlight of the final day of the Leopardstown Christmas festival.
It didn’t disappoint.
As the seven runners turned into the straight with just over two furlongs to go and one fence still to jump, Jezki took up the lead with Hurricane Fly looming over his right shoulder.
If you’ve already seen the epic finish, you’ll know that it’s worth another watch. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat.
