After race at Sligo Wed, 6th Aug, 2025 (1st)
he’s named after the comedian Noel V Ginnity who is a regular racegoer but unfortunately isn’t here this evening. Noel was a hairdresser in London and was known in the salon as Antoine De Paris, who was a famous hairdresser. Noel told me this story and because he is small and the horse is small, we gave him this name. We put him in light enough (at 9st, and for €10,000), so he had his chance. He’s not very big but he’s genuine enough.
