Labaik – The Liam Gallagher of horse racing

He's a bit of an enigma! There's no denying his talent, but the Labaik certainly has his quirks - as shown here at the 2017 Punchestown Festival. Just weeks after winning the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in fine style at the Cheltenham Festival - the first time the grey consented to jump off on terms for five months - had Labaik turned a corner? This effort in the Herald Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown suggests not... Lining up for the BETDAQ Punchestown Champion Hurdle just three days later, Labaik ran a fantastic race for a novice against more experienced and classy rivals to finish fourth. Injured in the race, the horse's racing career is in jeopardy but it's hoped Labaik will make a full recovery. We all love those classy types, but we all love the characters too... ------------------- Enjoy the best of At The Races on our free, award-winning app: iPhone: http://apple.co/1I4NxAV Android: http://bit.ly/1VPIcEz facebook.com/AtTheRaces twitter.com/AtTheRaces instagram.com/at_the_races
