Langer Dan

Langer Dan has twice been to the Cheltenham Festival in the Martin Pipe Conditionals Jockey Handicap Hurdle. In 2021 after winning the Imperial Cup he finished 2nd behind Galopin Des Champs. Looking at how the winner has done since, strongly suggested that Langer Dan had simply bumped into one and it was no surprise to see him back in 2022. Off […]
