@GLynchRacing @BenRead37577737 Not quite a national but Feronily winning a grade one chase 4 months after debuting in a bumper and only a month after breaking his maiden in a hurdle at Limerick isn’t the worst effort either!

Emmet Mullins and Paul Byrne re-writing the rule book again.
They go from winning a bumper to winning the Irish Grand National in less than 12 months
Nobody else thinks that way.
Massive credit to them for thinking outside the box.
Surely others should follow 👏👏

So sorry to hear this. The word legend is used far too often but in this case it is most apt. Nick was simply incredible with a greyhound. A legend of the sport and true gentleman. RIP

@dermonolan91 @Mossymnm1 I was far more tuned in at that age than I am now - I was obsessed with Cheltenham 4 years before that!

@DistntView @Mossymnm1 You were a more tuned in 10 year old than I

I think this is the worst hammering I've ever seen a Kerry team take. Brutal stuff #GAA
English
@Mossymnm1 @dermonolan91 Kerry do like to win the league as a prep for the All Ireland but it will be compltely forgotten about later in the year if they defend Sam - There was far too much chat about Kerry being clear of everyone else anyway so a chastening will drive them on.

@dermonolan91 @DistntView It was fairly bad to be fair today was grim

@dermonolan91 @Mossymnm1 I was 10 when Monaghan lost to Kerry in 85 after the draw - Remember it vividly and it haunted me until that disaster when DOS did the unpunished Kung Fu kick on Paul Meegan and Declan O'Sullivan went on to score the goal in 2007
English
@DistntView @Mossymnm1 I was 10 so as my tweet says above today might be the worst I've seen. Should've added in as an adult 🤣
English
@Mossymnm1 @dermonolan91 Yeah it does not compare to Meath on any level.

@mickeyjayjay @Racing_Tales It is not even a 4 and a half mile chase.
English
@Racing_Tales It was the greatest steeplechase that tested both horse and jockey to its limits, horses were known as National Horses but now it's not, it's a 4 and a half mile chase that is suiting top horses the days of the smalltrainer with a National horse are long gone

The 1956 Grand National, just looked at those fences!
My Word 🤯
Oh and what would the stewards have to say about the ending 😂

@freddy6T6 @quarterfirst4 @badbadge24 I meant to tune in for the race but missed it. That looks like a very decent run coming from behind at the second bend around there. They are never the biggest from that mating but some very good under 70lb dogs have come from the various litters.

RIP Michael Lyster ❤️
Loved this 2018 RTÉ Tribute to him on his final day hosting The Sunday Game.
He fronted the panel so well for 35 years.

An inquest has ruled boxer Ricky Hatton had brain disease caused by repeated head trauma when he died.
Senior coroner for South Manchester, Alison Mutch, recorded a verdict of hanging, but also said it was not clear whether the former world champion intended to take his own life.
