OFFALY’s Aileen Dwyer, who spent some time in Co Wexford working for the late racehorse trainer William Codd, returned to the Model County last Saturday when she won Section B of the older horses’ qualifier for the performance Irish Draught finals at the Gallagher Dublin Horse Show.

So comprehensive was Dwyer’s victory on 238 marks with the David Miley-bred Diamond Dungar Quality (Keamore Diamond Quality - Banog Girl, by Sea Crest) that no horse other than Tadgh O’Leary’s five-year-old gelding secured a qualifying ticket. Representing Anvil, Dwyer and the grey won the side saddle class at the recent AIRC Festival in Mullingar, where they also placed third in both their ridden and working hunter ID classes.
