Edward Lynam

Navan Sun, 7th Jun, 2026  Jon Riggens I wouldn't be an optimistic sort of a fella and I fancied Jon Riggens on Wednesday. He's on 71, and Sarah (Lynam, daughter) rode him out on Friday morning and said he was in great form. We declared him and then Ocean's Breath won (Fairyhouse, Friday) and I said that won't be in, so we'll run him. All the people I told to back him on Wednesday, you couldn't back him today at 7/2!

Curragh Sat, 23rd May, 2026  Headmaster I’d love to take any credit, but I can’t. This is Sarah’s (Lynam, daughter) horse really, she bought him, and I’m only in charge of who mucks him out!. Sarah does all the work with him. She made a very good decision because a couple of weeks ago he worked poorly, he was going for this race, and she said ‘we’re not going to work him again’. With all my years of experience, I said ‘that’s a clueless thing to do', but anyway we’d run with it, so she knows what she’s doing. Fair play to her. A small trainer in England (William Haggas) had him! I like the pedigree, the mam won the (Prix de la) Foret three times. I’ll have to do what I’m told with him, but the programme writes itself.
