‘The Red Baron’ Roche ready to tackle new season

BILLY Roche (44), aka The Red Baron, is the modest and unassuming brain behind the successful stable based at Newtown Stud, near Dublin airport. The licence is held by Billy’s father-in-law Joe Gannon. The yard is a real gambling stable. The company policy is that handicap marks are a minor inconvenience, which must be circumnavigated.
