POST-Dublin young horse entries nosedive at agricultural shows, so it was interesting to see how many owners would travel to Tydavnet for its inaugural hosting of the All-Ireland three-year-old filly final.

It’s a final that has undergone a ‘Discover Ireland’ tour down through the years, moving from Belturbet to Bantry, Cappamore and Dungarvan. Nine fillies lined out last Saturday at its latest host - a charming, retro-feel country show.
