  • DAVY RUSSELL Age: 33 From: Co Cork Davy Russell Hates Losing And
    DAVY RUSSELL Age: 33 From: Co Cork Davy Russell hates losing and is very hard on himself in defeat, even when he is blameless. Although the 33-year-old has mellowed a little bit over time, he still lives to win. The Youghal native is a passionate follower of both his local GAA club and Cork, and is no mean hurler himself, as evidenced when he captained a team wearing the Rebel jerseys against a side led by Trainer Jim Bolger in last year’s charity match to raise funds for cancer research. Russell’s competitiveness shone through on that occasion and it is what kept him striving to become champion jockey – something he finally achieved at the end of the 2011/2012 season, having finished second a gut-wrenching five consecutive times before that. He has been booting home winners at an almost monotonous rate since riding his first in the point- to-point sphere in 1999. He went on to be champion two years later, and shared the title with John Thomas McNamara at the end of the 2002 campaign with a then record 56 winners. A switch to the professional ranks followed when he was offered a retainer in England by trainer, Ferdy Murphy and his first winner as a pro came on Inn Antique in a Sedgefield novice hurdle on November 12, 2002. Other notable successes followed on Truckers Tavern, Tribal Venture and Ballinclay King and he finished second on the former in the 2003 Cheltenham Gold Cup. He opted to return to Ireland in 2004 though, and the decision has proven fruitful.

    STALLIONS 2017 STALLIONS 2017 Your Key to Success Welcome to Rathbarry & Glenview Studs 2017 Dear Breeders, The nature of the bloodstock industry is that each and every year brings fresh challenges as well STALLIONS 2017 as new achievements and 2016 has been no different. The main concern is that there has been increased catalogue sizes to cater for a larger foal crop of 2015, so the necessity for breeders to focus on quality and value is more important than ever. Happily we have witnessed another fantastic year for ACCLAMATION’s progeny on the track with 17 Black Type performers including Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye winner MARSHA and Dual Group 2 winning 2-Y-O MEHMAS. LIMATO has again proved a great advertisement for TAGULA in 2016, when competing at the highest level. He was successful in Group 1 July Cup and Group 1 Prix de la Foret and we look forward to even more successes for him in 2017. As we write the first crop foals by the Group 2 Winning and Dual Group 1 placed 2-Y-O MOOHAAJIM and the Dual Group 1 Winning Miler, XTENSION, are being prepared for the sales ring and we are confident that you will be impressed by their excellent quality and confirmation.
