FreeWheelin Dylan took home the AXA Farm Insurance midlands national race on Friday 10 July, traditionally the farmer’s race day at Kilbeggan Races. I’m told Paddy Dunican, manager of Kilbeggan, was delighted with the quality of horses in for the €75,000 race. “It was a special race day, it was the best race card ever,” he said. The day was topped off with RTÉ showing Kilbeggan Races on TV for the first time.
