THE final of the Irish Horse Welfare Trust Thoroughbred Club retired racehorse series, which was sponsored by Tattersalls and supported by Godolphin and TRI, was judged in Ring 3 on Saturday by Penelope Clarke and Philippa Moon.

Their champion was Piri Wango who was ridden and produced by Rosemary Connors for Co Cork’s David Spratt, in whose colours the chesnut ran when trained by Ger Lyons. The eight-year-old Choisir gelding, who was bred by former multiple champion flat jockey Michael Kinane out of a Deploy mare, ran 21 times, mainly over distances of six furlongs to a mile, visiting the winner’s enclosure twice.
