Sporting Year 2022

Thu, Dec 29, 2022

It has to be the year of the Shark, that’s John ‘Shark’ Hanlon from County Carlow. He bought a horse called Hewick. He didn’t pay dearly for it (not even a thousand euro) and then won the Galway Plate last summer. He added another win at Sandown, and between the two he pocketed half a million euro. Not bad for a year’s work. But just last October he won the American Grand National at Fair Hills in New Jersey with a $160,000 dollar first prize. Now he is 33/1 to take the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. D’ya think, maybe.

And now another great racing story, called ‘An audience with Ryan Tubridy and An Afternoon of Racing at Ballybrit’ also in October. No, me neither. As my dear lamented late mother might say, mind your own business.
