Trio entitled to share of racehorse, rules court

Three people are entitled to a 20% share of a racehorse which was sold for £315,000 (€430,000) more than two years ago, the High Court has ruled.

Builder Joseph Logan and his wife Edel, from Kilmeague in Kildare, must pay 20% of the sale price for a horse called Tashzara to satellite TV installer and part-time horse trainer Michael O’Reilly, of Ruanbeg Drive, Kildare town, and to his jockey brother Martin and his partner Claudia Reiss.

The O’Reilly/Reisses claimed they reached an agreement with Mr Logan that they would train and look after the filly to see if she could be raced and between the three of them they would get 20% of any sale proceeds.
