Delighted to highlight the achievements of Caoimhe Doherty in The Irish Field. Had she not set up Treo Eile, Ireland’s thoroughbred aftercare would be in an embarrassing state. She’s proven it’s possible for anyone to make a difference and more people should follow her lead 🙌🏼

Stories of breeders hitting the jackpot has spurred Paul Giles on through a life in horses. He’d sold clients horses for up to 200k, but his own had made up to 42k. This week, he sold homebreds for 68k & 350k, becoming the latest to prove it can be done theirishfield.ie/breeder-paul-g…

Ruairi Kilmartin Ruairi Kilmartin took a day off school to see his first pinhook rise from €7,000 to 70,000gns in value Kildallan Farm. It was a highlight in an otherwise tough day for vendors on Day 1 of Tattersalls Somerville Sale. Read our report eu1.hubs.ly/H0c3NcC0

The real issue here is failure of the Irish industry to get fully behind and support an aftercare body which provides viable solutions and works towards traceability. To also have real concrete aftercare policy and commitments that everyone can get behind.

Disappointed that the French horses are absent since recording the podcast and that tactics will now be the focus of the Champion Stakes, which now looks set up for Auguste Rodin. I’d like to see Ghostwriter run another big race- he’s got the best form with absent City Of Troy

LISTEN: Amy Lynam puts up a 7/2 shot as "a certainty" this weekend. theirishfield.ie/racing/racing-…

👇🏼 One of many great lines from Patrick Cooper BBA Ireland in The Irish Field Big Interview. A really interesting chat made for plenty of timely food for thought on a big weekend for Irish racing and in the midst of the yearling sales season theirishfield.ie/racing/racing-…

A weekend of top-class racing in Ireland, but for a raceday experience, The Curragh Racecourse was a clear winner. The biggest crowd & best atmosphere I’ve seen since the new design. The facilities were in top shape, with lots of entertainment for kids, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day 👏🏼
