The 7 year old winner at Le Lion proves traditional breeding has lots to offer – out of a TIH mare who is by a CP sire. John Flynn must be pleased as he bred two of the finishers in the 6 year olds. Great to see the Paddy Joyce bred Sunday Times proving the longevity of the TIH getting a 10th spot in a 5* at 18 years old, but he has class being by Cult Hero.
