CATHAL Daniels certainly wouldn’t be a regular visitor to Tullymurry but, although just back from holidaying in Portugal, he was more than happy to travel up there from Kildare on Saturday and was delighted with the performances of his five horses.

“I remember coming here years ago when I was a Junior,” said Daniels. “In those days, you couldn’t ride more than three horses a day if you were a Junior so, with all the horses I had, I used to compete up north on a Saturday and then down south on a Sunday which, according to some, was a better idea than riding five on one day!”
