Another Prendergast joins training ranks

The latest Prendergast to join the training ranks is about to take up his new role on The Curragh.

Patrick Prendergast, grandson of the late Darkie Prendergast, son of Paddy Prendergast and nephew of Kevin Prendergast and John Muldoon is to follow in the family tradition of training on the famous gallops in Kildare.

Prendergast, whose career to date has included spells with John Claude Rouget, Dermot Weld and Jim Bolger among others, is to take up the reins at his new base Strawhall Stables which were formerly occupied by Muldoon and Eddie Harty.

'I am delighted to be home and excited about the future and look forward to the challenges ahead,' he said.

'The facilities at Strawhall are second to none and there are stables available to be filled.'
