Father and son combination win at Galway

Mon 27th Oct 2008, 14:52

Glenquin Castle landed the John Mulholland Bookmakers handicap hurdle for the McNamara family.

Trained by father Andrew and ridden by his son of the same name Glenquin Castle, a former bumper winner at the track, made virtually all the running to score by a comfortable 5 lengths.

'We really fancied him. Staying is his game and all being well he will re-appear at Cork on Sunday for a Grade 3 hurdle over 3 miles,' said the winning trainer.
