Jeroboam Machin, favorito del Champion Bumper, fuera de la temporada tras sufrir lesión después de ganar en Leopardstown

The unbeaten bumper record of the Paul Byrne-owned five-year-old was extended to two on Saturday’s Grade 2. The horse won decisively by four and a quarter lengths under Derek O’Connor, leading to a reduction in odds from 16-1 to around 4-1, making it the outright favorite. Trainer Emmet Mullins shared on Tuesday morning that the latest recruit for Byrne, who has previously discovered talented jumpers like The Shunter, Feronily, Corbetts Cross, Filey Bay, and So Scottish, has been ruled out for the season due to injury. Racing Post has the best offers, all in one place.
