Dreaper and Lynch off the mark at Navan

Sat 20th Dec 2008, 15:28

The Jim Dreaper trained Retrievethelegend under Andrew Lynch, ran out a 9 length winner of The 'Prancer and Dancer' Handicap Chase.

Lynch raced the grey gelding towards rear on outer, took closer order halfway, led before 2 out, ridden and stayed on well to hold off the David Martin Kelly trained Colmanstown Hope

Dreaper said afterwards, "It's great that he won here today, he's been a very genuine horse. He's such a small horse and that's why we raced him on the outside to give him some chance with the heavy ground. We have no set plan for him yet."

My Racing Story. Don Browne

I was born and bred in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork and my father had point-to-pointers. He never trained, but he had horses in training. A thing I always wanted to do was train my own horse. I was about 21 before I sat on a racehorse. My father had a point-to-pointer and said to me to crack on and take a chance training him. I then bought a horse with my brother and trained it. She stayed racing, but was never much good. Cloneen Princess was my first winner in the millennium year at Carrigtwohill. She was a point-to-point winner for my father. I bought Cloneen Storm and he won for me as a five-year-old and a six-year-old. That fella won four point-to-points. After him, the licence went. I had another horse for my father, Cloneen Choice, and I took out the licence for him. He won three point-to-points and he came third in a hunters chase in Killarney in 2017.
