THE traditional August 15th racing took place last Monday in Allihies, on the Beara Peninsula in west Cork and the Sheehys made the journey from Kilkenny a worthwhile one as Danny rode a treble and Mikey secured a brace.

On a track where front-runners have a distinct advantage, Danny jumped off in front on Farmer Boyce in the 15hh race and he shook off the persistent challenge of the Michael O’Connor-ridden Bounce to win.
