AS if the racing at Fairyhouse last weekend wasn’t spectacular enough, the team at the Meath track laid on plenty of extra fun with their Christmas jumper competition of the year.

Leading lady rider and assistant trainer to her mother Jessica, Kate Harrington, was the judge of the competition and she chose the popular local winner Paul McGrath from nearby Ashbourne.

Paul’s grand prize was a VIP trip to the Fairyhouse Easter Festival including hospitality at the racetrack to see Ireland’s favourite race on Easter Monday, April 22nd, the Irish Grand National, and an overnight for four in Dunboyne Castle Hotel.

Paul had gone to great efforts and had the complete Christmas ensemble of festive socks, dickie bow, shirt as well as his green woolly patterned jumper. Have to get plenty of wear out of that gear Paul.
