FRIDAY, June 13th was a lucky day for two of its locals. The Kildare Derby Festival inducted 91-year-old Sean Coughlan and his wife Anne into the Hall of Fame at the Courthouse in Kildare Town.

A distinguished breeder and owner, Sean’s legacy in the racing industry is marked by his exceptional contributions. Orla Murtagh and Cathal Beale led the tributes to the couple, watched by many friends and admirers of the couple.
