Ardkill Star’s connections savour poignant victory
Speaking after the race an emotional Mangan, who owns the dog jointly with jockey Willie Supple, explained that this victory was special: “This one means much more than any before. We had his sire Ardkill Jamie, who has been missing eight months after being taken from us.
“It’s great to see a son of his keeping the name alive and hopefully he can fill his father’s shoes in the coming year. He’s only lightly raced, but once he led we knew he wouldn’t be caught.”
