Racing TV published this video item, entitled “Gerri Colombe prevails Champion Chase thriller at Down Royal” – below is their description.
Gerri Colombe pulled it out of the fire to run out a determined winer of a thrilling Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal.
Gordon Elliott’s gelding and the 4-7 favourite was one of a top-class field of four contesting the Grade One highlight, with Elliott and Henry de Bromhead each responsible for two horses.
The quartet travelled as a group for much of the race and turning for home any one of them could have gone on to win, though Minella Indo was the first to fold and Gerri Colombe switched sharply from one side of the track to the other.
Conflated and Envoi Allen were left to jump the last in unison and it looked as though the latter horse may have the advantage, but Gerri Colombe was steadily gaining ground on the outside and just got his head in front to prevail under Jack Kennedy.
