RTÉ’s Nationwide has a special feature on breeding with the successful and consistent Yellowford Farm in east Cork and the Motherway family on Friday next, May 14th on RTÉ One at 7pm.

Mary Fanning talks to Frank, Paul, Deirdre and Colin Motherway about their involvement on the farm.

Frank shows off Scandisk, Hurricane Fly’s dam, retired now at 26 years of age and he explains to viewers how he spent decades building pedigrees. He describes how bloodstock breeding is like collecting good art and brings the programme behind the scenes with the dam of double Gold Cup winner Bellshill.

Frank talks about the importance of family and their involvement in the breeding and dairying enterprises.

Frank also gives Mary a preview of the three-year-old half-brother to Hurricane Fly by Coolmore National Hunt sire, Walk In The Park, who is going to this year’s Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale at Fairyhouse. Check in for a fascinating look at this outstanding farm.
