Eagle’s Passruns his Gold Cup rivals ragged

EAGLE’S PASS, owned by two New York-based Kerrymen, Niall O’Dowd and Denis Kelleher, ran his rivals ragged to land the valuable Guinness Gold Cup at Tralee yesterday.

O’Dowd is particularly well known in this country, as a frequent contributor to different strands of the national media and he is also the owner of the Irish Voice newspaper in New York.

Eagle’s Pass, third behind Farmer Brown in the Galway Hurdle, showed here what a talented and versatile horse he is.
