BRIAN Lusk has been taking things at a slow pace during the lockdown but this week successfully brokered the sale of Sandra Hamilton’s four-year-old Corandro gelding Arlo to Wendy Harris, an owner with Co Meath event rider Sarah Ennis.

Better known these days as a dealer in quality event horses, Brian Lusk was once one of the top National Hunt trainers in Ireland, saddling winners at major meetings both here and in Britain, and he still dabbles in the thoroughbred sector.
