How did you get into racehorse ownership?

A friend of the family got me to buy a half share in a horse called Garcia back in 1988. He won a bumper for us in the stewards’ room in Killarney a few months after getting involved. I had the bug immediately and it just continued on from there. I was introduced to the late Dessie Hughes in the early 1990s and he trained our first winner in a horse called Cuban Question in 1993. We have always had a horse with the Hughes family since, with most of them winners for us. Dessie bought us the great Hardy Eustace at the Goffs Land Rover Sale in 2001.
