FORMER top National Hunt jockey Tony Dobbin was home in Downpatrick recently and, as can be read in Noel Mullins’s report, enjoyed a day’s hunting with the East Down Foxhounds.

Over the period under review, two horses with which Dobbin was closely associated were in the news, the first of them being the former Nicky Richards-trained Monet’s Garden who was crowed RoR Horse of the Year last Wednesday night.
