Robbie Power hilariously recreates one of the most dramatic Punchestown Festival moments

The Punchestown Festival was scheduled to take place this week, but like the majority of sport across the world has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In its absence, Robbie Power has brilliantly recreated one of the most dramatic moments to ever happen at the meeting with the use of soft toys.

After recalling his 2017 Punchestown Gold Cup win on Sizing John, Power looked back on another moment that didn't bring back such good memories.

With hilarious commentary, the Meath jockey recalled the Grade 1 Growise Champion Novice Chase from 2016 when his mount Finian's Oscar was taken out of the race by Al Boum Photo, who has won two Gold Cups at the Cheltenham Festival since.

You can watch Power's commentary and the race from four years ago below:
