Sad passing of Gerry Griffin

BLOODSTOCK agent and former jump jockey Gerry Griffin has died. He was 73 and passed away peacefully at his home in Navan. Closely associated with trainer Nicky Richards, Griffin selected many high-class horses from the store sales, none better than Monet’s Garden who won 17 races. Griffin is survived by his wife Kate, children Sharon and Paul, and five grandchildren. A full appreciation will appear in next week’s paper.
