Dermot Weld reaches 4,000 winner milestone

Dermot Weld reached a significant milestone in his long and illustrious career in Naas last night when a double, with Discipline in the listed Naas Oaks Trial and Sea Swift in the fillies maiden, saw him reach the 4,000 winner mark.

And the Master of Rosewell House took particular pleasure in the fact that he reached the milestone with a home-bred filly Sea Swift, bred by his late mother.

“We’ve had so many great days and many miles have been involved. I knew it was coming and it’s nice for a home-bred filly to do it.”
