Could America have a Cheltenham Contender?

Emmet Kennedy chats with History making American Jumps Trainer Keri Brion, about her stable-star The Mean Queen, who won the Grand National Hurdle at Far Hills, completing a double after Historic Heart won on debut after transferring from Nigel Hawke in the UK. Keri talks about how she sources Horses from Ireland and the UK, the differences between how Jumps Races are run (and won) in America compared to the UK and Ireland, her ambitions as a dual purpose Trainer and what it means to be the only American to have trained a Jumps winner in Ireland! She also discusses the plan to get The Mean Queen to The Mares Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and names a possible alternative target! Emmet also talks to US Jumps Racing Reporter and expert Megan Connolly about Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell's success at Far Hills, the huge differences in prize money between Britain & Ireland and the USA, and what needs to be done to promote American Jumps Racing more.
