Conna hero basks in glory
The Jimmy Mangan-trained 10-year-old was due to return home in the early hours of yesterday morning but missed the 3am ferry from Holyhead following an impromptu party in Liverpool on Saturday night.
Instead, the horse and his connections boarded the 9am sailing to Dublin and stopped off on their way to County Cork at the Curragh, where the runaway National winner paraded after the second race.
