Thyestes Chase - Jan 21

Certainly doesn't grab me like last year.
Mala Beach maybe though no idea if he is expected to run.
 
As an aside, I didn't realise until yesterday this race was named after a racehorse. Thyestes was rated 3rd best two-year-old of 1930 as a result of his winning his only two races, The National Breeders Produce Stakes over 5 furlongs at Sandown and the Rous Memorial Stakes over 6 furlongs at Goodwood. Thyestes never ran again due to injury and was retired to stud in Yorkshire.
 
Makes perfect sense to have a 3m steeplechase ran at Gowran Park named after him then ;)

I'm still waiting on Dogora to do something, could this be the day ?

Thyestes was owned and bred by the McCalmonts, who stood his sire The Tetrarch at their Ballylinch Stud, not far from Gowran.

I'm your brother wilsonl. I meant to put him as my cliff horse on that thread.

I think the x country at punchestown will be his day in the sun.
But I'll have to be having something small on him when he runs in the meantime just in case I'm wrong.
