Tomás Ó Sé offers Ted Walsh-like punditry pearls

Married to a devoted horse racing fan for the last 44 years, my mother has probably watched more Group One Classics than the queen.

And yet, the sport still holds no appeal to her. Within seconds, the same woman can get drawn into a game of football, hurling, soccer or rugby. But the horses just don’t do it for her.

However, not everything about horse racing leaves my mother cold. Naturally, she follows Tony McCoy (don’t we all?) She also loves listening to Ted Walsh (don’t we all?)
