So sad to learn of the passing of HH The Aga Khan. Deepest sympathies to Princess Zahra and all his family as well as the team in the Aga Khan Studs in Ireland and France. An inspirational man who contributed to the horse racing and breeding industry in Ireland in so many ways.

@PatrickKennelly@DundalkStadium@Franmberry Brilliant picture Patrick. Put a frame on that. Do they ever go anywhere else on a racecourse other than the winners enclosure ?
@MikeParcej Previously the headquarters of the Irish Horseracing Authority ( now Horse Racing Ireland @HRIRacing ) Mike, prior to relocation to County Kildare in 2001. Now the HQ of a company called DCC.
😬 More from Nicky Henderson, per @RacingPost, on JERIKO DU REPONET:
“If he is good that will be nice, because I've got ten more the same. He's no better than them and Friday is his first day at school. I think he’ll run well but he’s not a good work horse.”
“It’s [12/1 for the Supreme] absolutely stark raving ridiculous. He's never run. I don't know where these things start. I suppose it's because I took him to gallop at Newbury, but I only decided the night before to put him on the lorry because I needed a fourth horse.”
