HATS off to trainer Brendan Duke for his cheeky advertisement on the back page of The Irish Times this week.

With a nod to the controversial note recently passed by Michael Lowry to Enda Kenny, Brendan advertised a filly for sale, describing her as “Bright, intelligent and not bad-looking either”! The trainer values the filly at €100,000 and is selling shares at €5,000 a pop.
