TIPPERARY’s Shane Breen got his Christmas off to a great start by winning The Ivy Stakes at London Olympia with his 13-year-old stallion Golden Hawk last Thursday to score Ireland’s third win at the top venue in the space of just 24 hours after Offaly’s Darragh Kenny posted a double of wins.

And more was to come from Breen when he also won the Christmas Masters on the final day of the spectacular show to make it truly a Christmas to remember with two top wins under his belt.
