TWO former members of the Irish Pony Club made their mark in the thoroughbred world recently.

Last Friday evening at The Curragh, the mile and a half Corinthian Challenge Charity Race was won by the Joseph O’Brien-trained San Andreas, who scored by three-parts of a length under Robin de Pelsmaeker. The one-time very active North Kilkenny Branch member is an equine vet based in The Cotswolds in England.
