CROSSGAR trainer Colin McBratney had an extra reason for saddling a winner at Downpatrick last Saturday as among his entourage was his 26-week-old grandson Caleb who, of course, featured in the photographs with Shipwreck, winner of the Molson Coors Handicap Hurdle.

The seven-year-old Shantou mare, who runs in the colours of the Templeburn Racing Syndicate, was bred in Co Louth by Thomas Matthews out of the unraced Bob Back mare Skeleton Coast who comes from the family of Waterloo Boy. At time of writing, the bay held three engagements for this weekend.
