WITH some nudging no doubt from Joe Foley, Steve Parkin of Clipper Logistics fame, has been a good supporter of the now Irish Champions Festival weekend.

He had great joy on Saturday as he roared home Flight Plan (Night Of Thunder) in the Group 2 Dullingham Park Stakes at Leopardstown, a race he sponsors. That delight was more than exceeded 24 hours later when his homebred Fallen Angel put herself at the top of the juvenile fillies’ ranking in Europe after taking the honours in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes.
