YOU can’t keep Michael Browne out of the news these days. Logo Hunter’s trainer landed a little touch at Down Royal last Friday evening when Maguire’s Grace bolted up in a five-furlong handicap. It was the filly’s first run in a handicap and she went off the 13/2 co-favourite, having been as big as 18/1 in the morning.

Michael Ryan of Boomerang Equestrian in Thurles takes up the story: “My partner Sinead Maher bred and owns the filly. Sinead runs the Boomerang Horse and Country Store in the town. The dam, Queen Grace, is named after our 12-year-old daughter Grace, and Maguire’s Grace is a reference to a family friend, Liam Maguire, who takes Grace to school every day.
