WHEN the record books on racing are written, the name Munfallet will be hard to find. Yet, in the lives of the Coakley family and friends, he is a legend.

This week at Dundalk, when many had left to go home, the 11-year-old son of Royal Applause (Waajib) gained his tenth career victory and this, allied to a further 25 placed efforts from 82 starts, brought his winnings to more than £70,000. It is a hugely respectable tally for a horse who is embarking on his tenth racing season.
