Rip dessie hughes

[Tanlic]

A sad end to what was a brilliant career as a jockey and a trainer.

Among his many achievements his Champion Hurdle exploits stand out.

His brilliant ride on Monksfield in the golden years and his 2 victories as a trainer with Hardy Eustace, a feat that he most to certainly would have come close to repeating with the brilliant Our Conor but for his early demise.

Condolences to all his family and friends

R.I.P.

I can't see Barry Connell moving The Tullow Tank.

Agree 100% -the problem could be that the new trainer might find it hard to resist the owner regarding targets.

Dont think BC is as pigheaded as Potts or Stephen Curran.

Barry Connell one of the speakers at Dublin Racing Club Drinmore preview meeting next week.
Hats off to him for speaking to the racing fans at such an event and hope he gets the success he deserves this season.
Ditto to the Hughes stable for the season.

Sandra Hughes had her first winner today and what a big day awaits her tomorrow

Well done to Sandra, a very popular winner.

And she wins the Hattons grace. What an interesting horse LC is.

come on the Tank

Well done to Sandra Hughes. A great win for the stable.

Great win, would have been far more interesting if Zaidpour had stood up, but good to see the stable doing well.

I've always had an eye on LC ever since Cheltenham when I saw him, super stamp of a horse but he had the most dreadful feet!! Cue me trying to see them on the TV now...
