WE are almost exactly halfway through the All-Weather Championships, with Dundalk this Friday hosting the 11th of 24 Fast-Track Qualifiers for Finals Day at Lingfield Park on March 30th.

The best winner in the Championships at the time of writing came early last week, when the redoubtable Caspian Prince conceded weight all round and battled on to beat Atletico by a head in the Betway Conditions Stakes at Newcastle.
