Beef Or Salmon to be served up at Limerick
Beef Or Salmon has recovered from the virus that affected his performance at Leopardstown last month, and trainer Michael Hourigan may give him a racecourse gallop later this week.
The chestnut gelding was found to have been suffering from an upper respiratory tract infection following his defeat at the hands on Rule Supreme in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup and was treated with antibiotics.
However, the nine-year-old has resumed his preparation for the forthcoming totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup, which may include a trip to Limerick racecourse on Friday.
“He is in good form, and looks like he has got over his problems,” said Hourigan.
“He worked this morning, and worked fine. He is back into usual work, and I might give him a racecourse gallop this week, and then one the week after. He may go to Limerick on Friday, but I am not quite sure yet.”
Beef Or Salmon, now around an 8-1 shot for Cheltenham glory, had previously looked very impressive when defeating Best Mate at Leopardstown in December.
