What makes Wexford a horse county?

Day three of the festival and here we are, scrounging around for Irish winners.

Patriotic punters routinely have become accustomed to laying down their hard-earned on the likes of the Willie Mullins and Gigginstown yards but there is hope to be had from Wexford too.

In all, there are seven horses with ties to the county running this afternoon. Three alone — Ferdy Murphy’s Kalahari King, Paul Nolan’s Noble Prince and Poquelin, which is partnered by Daryl Jacob — will go in the Ryanair Chase today.
