El Fabiolo to Remain in Ireland for Dublin Racing Festival

El Fabiolo Set to Stay in Ireland for Next Run

In a surprising turn of events, El Fabiolo, the talented racehorse owned by Simon Munir, will be staying in Ireland for his next run rather than heading to England for the rearranged Clarence House Chase. The highly anticipated clash between El Fabiolo and Jonbon at Ascot was unfortunately canceled due to the current cold snap.

The speculation surrounding the race suggests that it may be saved and added to Festival Trials Day at Cheltenham next weekend. However, Munir revealed that they have made the decision for El Fabiolo to run at the Dublin Racing Festival on February 4 instead of traveling over to England.

This unexpected change has left racing enthusiasts intrigued about what this means for El Fabiolo’s future prospects. Having already defeated his rival Jonbon in last year’s Sporting Life Arkle at Cheltenham, El Fabiolo is now considered a strong favorite with odds of even-money for the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham. Meanwhile, Jonbon stands as an 11/4 chance.
