There is huge shock and sadness in Coolcullen this weekend at the sad and sudden passing of John Hayes.
A native of Mallow, Co Cork, Hayes has been a major part of the team at Jim Bolger’s for almost 40 years.
He rode successfully as an amateur in the early part of his career

RT @McGracing: Decision re Benvenuto Cellini is actually completely against “fair play”, let alone fair punting. The tardy start was cause…

Cracking days racing @GowranPark1 . Well done to the @inpbaoc for sponsoring the gate. Big race went for export with the @rhannonracing trained Bunyola Bay leading from pillar to post . 50/1 winner with the locally trained Real Petite. A couple of great finishes also.

By our old friend ARAKAN and owned by another friend Declan Landy, congratulations to everyone connected with Captain Guinness 👏🏻👏🏻🏆🏆
We wish Captain Guinness the best of luck as he sets off to start his 2nd career and a very pampered retirement.
He’s been a firm yard favourite, and gave us an unforgettable day winning The 2024 Champion Chase - a race he ran in 4 times, finishing 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st.
