BASED in Trim, Co Meath, Patrick Kane senior with sons Patrick and Mark make a formidable team on the harness racing circuit. The horses are always fighting fit and with several owners not afraid of a gamble, it is always worth keeping an eye on the market.

Patrick is a farrier, while Mark is an equine dentist, so their runners should be good gaited and easy to steer which leaves poor Paddy senior to blame for the bits which lie between mouth and hoof.
