IT’S been a great season for Sam Curling. He trained Angels Dawn to win at Cheltenham and he sold the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner Marine Nationale.

On home soil the Cashel trainer has had seven track winners, which is a real bonus as his main stock- in-trade is point-to-pointing. Between the flags, Sam has had 20 winners this term and that puts him just five behind perennial champion, Colin Bowe. You can’t do much better than that.
