The 1993 Champion Hurdle was a horse race held at Cheltenham Racecourse on Tuesday 16 March 1993. It was the 64th running of the Champion Hurdle. The winner was Eric Scarth's Granville Again, a seven-year-old chestnut gelding trained in Devon by Martin Pipe and ridden by Peter Scudamore. Granville Again's victory was a first in the race for trainer and owner and a second for Scudamore, who had ridden Celtic Shot to victory in 1988. Granville Again was a full brother to Morley Street, who had won the race in 1991. Granville Again was a non-Thoroughbred gelding, who had been strongly fancied for the 1992 running of the race, but fell at the second last hurdle. Starting at odds of 13/2 he won the Champion Hurdle by a length from the 50/1 outsider Royal Derbi with Halkopous in third place. Two previous winners of the race, Morley Street and Kribensis took part and finished eleventh and twelfth respectively. Seventeen of the eighteen runners completed the course. ==Race details== * Sponsor: Smurfit * Purse: £141,590; First prize: £84,734 * Going: Good to Firm * Distance: 2 miles 110 yards * Number of runners: 18 * Winner's time: 3m 51.40 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1993 Champion Hurdle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
