Sir, - We would like to take this opportunity to thank, most sincerely, the manager of Naas Racecourse, Eamonn McElroy.

Eamonn and his team at the racecourse could not have been more helpful and kind to us last Sunday when our horse, The Diddler, ran in the bumper. It was all very much appreciated by us, and by the wider and extended Quinlan family.

We would also like to thank Gary O’Brien and Ruby Walsh for their kind words about our daughter Dani, it all made the day very special for her.

A huge ‘thank you’ also to the team in Horse Racing Ireland, the unsung heroes of Irish racing, for all their help.

Lastly, thank you to Martin Brassil for his unwavering support. - Yours etc.,

Paddy, Eily & the Quinlan Family

Naas,

Co Kildare
