THE youngstock classes at the Tattersalls July Show deserve better patronage but among those who exhibited horses on Sunday were Dessie Gibson, Tiernan Gill and John Roche, and there were some notable faces ringside as well.

The champion was Gibson’s three-year-old Kingsley, a Kings Master gelding who earned the Dromara showman an extra Horse Sport Ireland-sponsored €150 as he bred the chesnut out of his thoroughbred mare Mrs Buttons (by Mister Mat).
