THERE might have been a bit of celebrating at David Stack’s Coolagown Stud over the Christmas period, and especially so after the great win for Master McShee in the Grade 1 Faugheen Novice Chase, the feature race of the four-day Limerick fixture. The eight-year-old is a son of Malinas (Lomitas) who is set to cover at his new base in Fermoy next month.

This the fourth home for Malinas, who started his career at Haras de la Hetraie in France, moved to Yorton Farm, transferred to Rathbarry’s Glenview Stud and will now stand in a joint-venture between the Cashmans and Stack at Coolagown.
