ANDREW White has been in touch to report on the birth of the second foal for his BoyleSports Hurdle winning mare Katie T (Beneficial). Andrew’s business partner Stephen Barry has a half share in all the horses and the pair have enjoyed many great days at the races, especially with Katie T.

The road to the equine industry for Andrew began in 1968 when his father came to Kildare from Carlow to work for the Prendergast family. He spent the next 40 plus years working for Paddy ‘Darkie’ Prendergast, Paddy junior and latterly for Kevin until he retired three years ago. Although he had little interest in horses himself, working primarily as a farm manager, he and his family lived ‘on site’. As there were always horses around Andrew eventually caught the bug!
