Lowry has €1m reasons to be happy

Troubled TD Michael Lowry could soon have a million reasons to celebrate after an unlikely gamble on the horses paid off.

Last month, the Tipperary deputy hit incredible fortune when a horse he bred landed a lucrative juvenile title at the Curragh — a win that could end up with him netting €1m.

The two-year-old horse, called Probably, was bred by Mr Lowry from a mare he acquired after settling his €1.4m bill with Revenue in 2007.
