ADO McGuinness has enjoyed a fine start to the campaign and it’s fair to say that his horses have done him proud right through the winter season in Dundalk.

He has a fine set up with access to the beach at Lusk and he maintains that the sea is great for horses after racing all year round. Despite all the negative comments about Dundalk, McGuinness trained plenty of winners up there over the winter, and not one of his horses were stiff or sore afterwards.
