Monsignor was bred by Ted Dennehy, a dairy farmer who lived around the corner from Connor King.
Alas the breeder died before his race course victories.
Ml Winters bought him off of Ted and broke him before selling him on to Costellos.
Tom had no interest in him but his son who rode him said he never sat on a horse so light on his feet.
A P McCoy thought his horse unbeatable in Cheltenham Bumper and phone calls to that effect were sent to Alley Bar Kanturk owned by Winters' in laws.
Ironic that one of his former inmates should beat him at 50/1.

3 horses killed following lightning storm at Willie Mullins' yard.
Would anyone know the name of the broodmare which was killed, please ?

Barbara Livingston has posted some lovely photos of horses lost in 2013, obviously all from the US but some real oldies there living into their thirties
