Cashmans Cat has been some servant to owner Danny McEvoy and trainer Paul Hennessy and is going for an incredible 5 wins in a row.

Welesbourne Dan


Last Friday saw Welesbourne Dan notch up his 25th career win, most of these have been in open class.

Dan turned four years old last May and still holds his own against top class stayers. A great servant to Thomas and Damien.



Ballinkillen GAA had a small benifit evening and brought along the Liam McCarthy Cup to share with the crowd.  This was another great fundraising success at the track and more clubs and charities should take notice.
