BREEDER Edmond Coleman knows a thing or two about breeding good horses. He is a multiple Cheltenham-winning breeder, most famously for the Grade 1 Gold Cup hero Lord Windermere (Oscar), and I came across an interview he did for The Irish Field with my colleague Amy Corrado.

Amy asked him: “Are there any horses you’ve bred that you are looking forward to seeing on the track?” Coleman named one. He said: “There’s a Walk In The Park horses that I sold as a yearling. He topped the sale in Tattersalls [Ireland], and then the Doyles bought him as a store, and he went on to win his point-to-point for them.
