ONLY the winner can progress from any of the Gallagher Dublin Horse Show racehorse to riding horse qualifiers to the popular final in the Ballsbridge showgrounds and, on Sunday, at Ballyfoyle, that winner happened to be the 2024 Irish Thoroughbred Marketing champion, Mickah Wallace.

Ridden as usual by his owner, Stephanie McGlynn, this 2018 Anjal gelding, who was bred by Kildaragh Stud out of the Bachelor Duke mare Chic Fabric, was unplaced in five starts on the flat as a three-year-old when trained by Mark Cahill. He had his last outing in a mile and six handicap at Navan in October 2021.
