MANY congratulations to Co Meath’s Keith Donoghue and Gavin Cromwell who, on Sunday, combined to land the famous Velka Pardubicka in the Czech Republic with the Furze Bush Syndicate’s Stumptown.

The eight-year-old cross-country race specialist by Laverock, who was recording his eighth track success, thus became the first Irish-trained winner of the historic four and a half-mile chase, which has Listed status.
