IT was good to visit Taylorstown on Saturday for the Newry Harriers’ point-to-point, but a few people I’d like to have spoken to were missing, preferring instead to get the work done at home before heading to the Kingspan Stadium to see Ulster play, and beat, Leinster.

Many racegoers commented favourably on the piece I wrote last week about Peggy Hagan, and the great accompanying photograph, and hoped that I would be writing about the owner again before the end of the season, with the champion horse title for Balnaslow being mentioned more than once.
