Shark strikes in Galway

Sun 2nd Aug 2009, 15:15

John "Shark" Hanlon deserves plenty of praise for producing Darenjan in such fine fettle after a year on the sidelines to win the Electronic Security Handicap Hurdle for the second consecutive year.

Hanlon said: "He has had a lot of little problems since his success in this race last. It has been the plan for quite some time to bring him back for this race. I walked the track at 8am this morning and knew the ground was perfect for him. The ground was not as suitable for many of my other runners during the week."

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.
