Elliott beats the freeze Trainer Gordon Elliott is not a man to sit on his hands so with the present cold snap showing no signs of relenting he has moved twelve of his horses to Dundalk. Elliott said this morning: "I took the decision at the start of this week to move my best horses to Dundalk and take advantage of the all-weather facility. We will be camped here until the weather breaks." "We couldn't afford to miss any more work. We have Cheltenham this weekend and Christmas is only around the corner." "I will run Carlito Brigante, Chicago Grey and Toner D'oudaries at Cheltenham this weekend. I know there is talk of a thaw coming tomorrow with temperatures rising to seven degrees, but to honest I can't see that being enough for Fairyhouse to race. Our yard is not too far from there and it would need twenty-seven degrees to get through the ice on our gallops."
