Time Electric To Miss Cheltenham

Follow on Discover

Published at

The Tom Mullins´ Trained Time Electric will not travel to Cheltenham for the weatherbys Champion Bumper.

The horse which has been vying for favouritism for the race since his impressive debut at Leopardstown over Christmas will instead wait for the punchestown equivalent.

His owner, Paul Duffin, does not want to risk Time Electric at Cheltenham as he feels the race may have a long term effect on the horse.
