Magical floors Ghaiyyath in Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown

Magical won the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown. She repeated her victory from 12 months ago. Magical is trained by Aidan O'Brien and ridden by Seamie Heffernan. O’Brien hopes Magical will be at the Breeders' Cup next year.  Magal is a serious mare when she gets into a battle with her. Her stablemate Armory finished third. The horse was booked to go to No Nay Never. It was a big field, but they were all good horses. Armory's stablemates were also good. They were in good shape. A lot of horses were good, including Magical.
