Is it ?
I have vague memories of Captain Christy winning a chase at Naas or Navan after pulling up in 75 Gold Cup before running second in Whitbread Gold Cup behind April the Seventh; it was retrospectively spotted in Irish Field in 76 so timing may not be 100% accurate.
Back to Webster Cup 2016
He was out battled fair and square.
though ground was testing he had no real excuse and I am afraid to say but Giggi may not have as many horses at Tu Va stables as heretofore.

I also remember Monksfield winning a Naas apprentice handicap three years in a row (1976 -78) ridden by Mick Kinane that came after Champion Hurdle and Aintree ! Imagine Annie P , Faugheen or even The Fly trying that !
