After race at Cork Mon, 21st Apr, 2025 (1st)  Jack unfortunately had an accident point to pointing in Dungarvan and while I never knew him, obviously the same has now happened to us. We know what they went through and they know what we’re going through: it means a lot to win for them. It’s a local crowd today, we’ve a lot of family here and the racing community are something else. I’ve had someone looking down on me because the last few weeks I’ve been very very lucky and riding for great people. Alan (O’Sullivan) gave him a cracking ride and this is a very special day for the Tyner family as well, so I’ delighted to be part of it. This means everything to me, my partner Matt and Grace Dorgan, who is fantastic and led him up. Grace is brilliant as this horse tests her every day riding him and he is a bit of a monkey. He ran a really nice race at Cheltenham but went off at a really fast pace and didn’t get home. I think the occasion went to both their heads but I’m sorry for Daragh (Allen, injured regular rider) but am delighted for Alan. He might go to Punchestown for the Champion Hunters or else to Tipperary which is for novices and he also likes a flat track. Ms Eleanor Broderick

After race at Fairyhouse Tue, 12th Nov, 2024 (1st)  it’s my first winner, I’m 71 years of age in two weeks' time and I've always dreamt of winning a hunters chase. I've had 10 point-to-point wins but this is a huge deal for me and for everyone behind me. The team includes my partner Matt Slattery and Grace, who rides out for me along with Eoin (O'Brien) and Darragh Allen, who are my jockeys: I'm so lucky to have a good team behind me. My father is born and bred in Listowel, loved hunting and was involved in the Avondhu Hunt and I actually rode three point-to-point winners. I wasn't much good but rode with the likes of Timmy and Johnny Callaghan, Pat Healy, Nicky Dee, Jimmy Mangan and even Ted Walsh: they knew I was harmless so were good to me and I had a good grounding!. I actually worked a horse in Jimmy's (Mangan) the other day. The last time I was here with a horse was 34 years ago with my father and we had Ashpit finishing fourth in the Joseph O’Reilly. fitness was on Lisleigh Lad's side today, he was very straightforward and God he won easy! I know the other horse fell at the last but he would still have won it. This fella is a good horse, but he wasn’t right last year. He won two (point-to-points) and beat Early Doors in Kildorrery. He came in this year a different horse, finished fourth in Curraghmore where he blew up, but was spot on for today. I don’t think he’ll go back point-to-pointing now and we’ll stay inside the rails. He’s a great jumper. I have two nice four-year Ms Eleanor Broderick
