FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - By Sholokhov, the sire of Don Cossack and Shishkin, BOB OLINGER could provide another Cheltenham Festival success for the Glenview Stud County Cork stallion here. As a son of that Sadler’s Wells horse, out of a Zaffaran mare, you can only be looking forward to the selection going out in trip, and of course he’s already won a point-to-point. The impression was certainly there that we were witnessing a special maiden hurdle when Ferny Hollow beat Bob Olinger at Gowran in November. Henry de Bromhead’s charge has since stepped up to score at Grade One level and he can supplement that now from Gaillard Du Mesnil and Bravemansgame. After City Island (2019) and Ferny Hollow (2020), Bob Olinger is attempting to give his breeder Ken Parkhill a third Grade One Festival winner in a row.
