DAVID Christie could have said a lot more following his very successful two-horse raid on the hunters’ chase evening at Stratford last Friday week, but less is more in this case: “It was incredible!” stated the Derrylin trainer.

David, and Co Meath-born Elaine McCann, who has been working at the Christie yard for the past five or six years, travelled over with Ask D’Man and Vaucelet on the 10.30am Belfast to Liverpool ferry on Wednesday and stayed overnight at the family farm of Stratford racecourse manager Ilona Barnett and her husband Andrew.
