Leopardstown: Luxembourg lives up to billing at Irish Champion Stakes

Luxembourg won the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday. Ryan Moore guided the 7-2 joint-favourite to victory. Mrs Evie Stockwell, mother of John Magnier, passed away on the day of the race. Coolmore/Ballydoyle's three-year-old colts have had a slow start this season. Christophe Soumillon's 7/4 favourite Vadeni was not able to challenge. Jack De Bromhead was remembered with a minute's applause. He died on Friday. The late Jack was 13 years old.
