BERNARD Caldwell, chairman, HRI Representative of the Irish Stablestaff Association, hopes to raise €12,000 for the Huntingdon’s Disease Foundation at Fairyhouse this Sunday.

Inspired by a friend who has Huntingdon’s, Bernard put together a raceday package and managed to sell 190 tickets for Sunday’s meeting.

With that kind of selling power, Bernard must be a good thing to get re-elected in the local elections next month.

Bernard is a Fianna Fáil councillor in the Celbridge, Co Kildare area.
