LAST year was a memorable one for Tony and Anne O’Callaghan’s Tally Ho Stud, and for the couple themselves. It was crowned when they were inducted into the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Hall of Fame.

The year brought success after success, whether it was for horses they bred, horses sired by their stallions, or even horses they pinhooked – usually profitably! Well, it would seem that the winning run is continuing, and this time it concerns Malavath. In 2021 she won the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte, was then beaten half a length in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, and she has come back from winter quarters with a bang.
