SADLY news emerged from the track’s penultimate meeting of the season that Adrian Maguire is on the cusp of relinquishing his training licence as he outlined the plight that faces both he and many of his contemporaries at present.

Some 15 years to the day after he had his last ride as a jockey, Maguire sent out Knockraha Pylon (15/8) to take the Irish Stallion Farms Mares Beginners Chase. The trainer, who has had the Munster National hero Golden Kite, the dual Grade 2 scorer Celestial Wave and the Grade 3 winner Let Yourself Go under his care, revealed that this could be one of his final winners.
