Banbridge (2016) Horse
About
Banbridge, a 9yo ch trained by J P O'brien, is by Doyen out of Old Carton Lass. The horse has recorded 11 wins to date. Its biggest triumph came on 30 April 2024 at Punchestown, where it captured the $189,391 William Hill Champion Chase (Grade 1). Punters have found it rewarding; backing Banbridge through its career would have yielded a 122% return on investment.
