WHAT took them so long? At last, this evening [Wednesday], RTÉ One will show a special episode of Nationwide at 7pm featuring the legend that is Pat 'Cash' Healy, racing photographer supremo. Pat was shadowed by producer Mary Fanning during Goffs Thyestes Day in Gowran Park last month.

The programme will feature a terrific interview with Willie Mullins about the legacy of Pat’s father, the late Liam Healy. The episode is set to be jam-packed, featuring Wendy O’Leary, Phillip Reynolds and Davy Russell and the presenter travels to the Healy Racing headquarters in Listowel where she meets the rest of the family, including sister Cathy who keeps the oil on the wheels!

Sounds like a good reason to put the feet up and pour a cuppa. We’ll definitely be tuning in.
