Going Updates

The Cashel Palace Hotel Derby Trial Stakes is the highlight on an eight-race card at Leopardstown this afternoon while there is also plenty of Irish interest in the classic action at Longchamp.

Gavin Cromwell has Royal Ascot very much in mind again for Snellen as the mare makes her seasonal reappearance in the Al Shira'aa Racing "Mutamakina" Stakes at Leopardstown this afternoon.

I live in Garristown, north Co Dublin, near Ashbourne in Co Meath. I started riding ponies when I was younger. I did a lot of hunting with the Ward Union Hunt and Fingal Harriers Hunt, and then I got into the Ward Union Pony Club. My brother, my two younger sisters and I all did the pony club for a good couple of years. We did eventing and show jumping and everything.
