More good news for Linehan

BLARNEY trainer John Linehan enjoyed his best season as a trainer last year and 2012 has got off to a smashing start also.

Not alone did Broadstrand Lad set an impressive pace in the first round of the Tyrur McGuigan Open 575 at Shelbourne last week but on Monday his star bitch Droopys Twirl produced a litter of ten pups by Ace Hi Rumble.

John said: “We’re absolutely delighted, although we would obviously have preferred more dog pups. But you can’t complain about a litter of three dogs and seven bitches. Hopefully they will all survive”.
