Gutsy Faugheen Flogas win the talk of Leopardstown and social media
Faugheen created the biggest buzz of the 2020 Dublin Racing Festival when bravely fighting off stablemate Easy Game to win the Flogas Novice Chase at the age of 12.
He received a rapturous reception from the Leopardstown crowd, and we canvassed the best reactions on social media after another magical chapter in the career of the 2015 Champion Hurdle hero.
Some were amazed as Faugheen defied his age once again...
Those lucky enough to be at Leopardstown certainly will not be forgetting Faugheen's memorable triumph in a hurry...
Others wondered if it was time to go out on a high...
And then there was those who believed he will deliver again at the Cheltenham Festival...
But perhaps the scene was best summed up by ITV presenter Oli Bell.
