Limerick Thu, 16th Apr, 2026  Cooltubrid Eva I've always wanted to win in Limerick, so I've done it now. I'm from Clare and my uncles used to run horses in the old Greenpark course, so I've always wanted a winner here. My uncle Gerry Burke, who trained horses in Newmarket-On-Fergus and worked for Tom Costello, initially had the 'horse bug' and I led up his horses in point-to-points and at the old Limerick course. This is my third winner and I'm based in Kilmacthomas in County Waterford. I have two horses who are owned by my wife and I ride them as well. I rode this mare the other day when she nearly ran away with me, so it wasn't a surprise she won. Like myself, she has had medical issues but has come good and we thought she'd be there or thereabouts. We thought the ground would suit and she has recently come back to the form she showed on her first run here (Christmas 2023). I am retired from the corporate world, where I worked as a HR Director for Waterford Crystal and for Pepsico when I was based overseas.
