OVER 250 people turned out for trainer Anthony McCann’s open morning in Castleblayney, Co Monaghan, last Sunday. “The rain held off and it went very well,” he told us.

One of the highlights of the day was the unveiling by owner Rita Shah of a plaque commemorating the late Oliver Brady, the larger-than-life character who established the yard and is much missed by Irish racing since his passing in 2014.
