Talking Horses: Clan Des Obeaux delivers away win for Ferguson


It was a third win in the Punchestown Gold Cup for Paul Nicholls and the first for a runner from Britain since 2010

Clan Des Obeaux, part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson, recorded the first victory for a British-trained jumps horse in Ireland for nearly two years when he made all the running under Sam Twiston-Davies to beat Al Boum Photo, the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner in 2019 and 2020, by a length and a half in the Punchestown Gold Cup on Wednesday evening.
