MANY congratulations to former show jumper Josh Halford who partnered his first Grade 1 winner on the track last Wednesday week at Punchestown when landing the Race and Stay at Punchestown INH Flat Race on the Gordon Elliott-trained With Nolimit.

The five-year-old French-bred gelding, whose previous riders have included Josh Williamson and Harry Swan, landed the €100,000 bumper in the colours of Gigginstown House Stud by one and three-parts of a length. Halford, who last competed over coloured poles in June 2025, came in for the ride on the Bande bay due to an injury picked up by the gelding’s intended partner Barry O’Neill.
