CF stayed on like a real terrier, zark travelled better than I thought he would, considered they really went for it, and he stuck at it like a good'un, truly great race that.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29457813/zarkandar-2013-champyon-hurdle?post_id=529761631#529761631The front 4 all ran fantastic races, how well did ROR travel!!!!

Wasn't as outpaced as I feared he might and thought he might still come back - slightly disappointing he couldn't get past CF.Winner deserves all the plaudits - proved himself a great horse.
