THE passing of prolific racehorse owner Trevor Hemmings this week comes not long after the death of his star point-to-point horse Arctic Times who was the winner of 28 races in the point-to-point fields in the five years between 2003 and 2008.

Eugene O’Sullivan was the man entrusted with training the Montelimar gelding after six unsuccessful runs in Britain for Henrietta Knight, and once joining his Lombardstown stable he very quickly developed into a winning machine.
