RECORDS are there to be broken. However, those that remain unmatched by the test of time carry with them a greater degree of respect. Throughout much of the 59 years since the last of Still William’s 33 recorded victories in the Bunratty Plate in April 1966, his record tally has remained unmatched.

That was until another point-to-point great, Winged Leader, emulated his record, with his 11th victory of the season at Necarne last Saturday.
