Geraghty just gets better with age

You’d have to say that last weekend was rather a good one for Irish racing, with over 16,000 at the National at Fairyhouse on Monday and 6,000 plus at Cork on Sunday.

Equally, you would have to conclude that Barry Geraghty winning his first National was the undoubted highlight.

Geraghty is a popular guy, helpful, mannerly, but above all a quite magnificent jockey.
