Killarney Races: Syndicate having the Craic and keeping a father’s memory alive

Back in 2009, John Connery, a farmer from Aglish, Co Waterford decided to act on a longstanding plan.

Now in his early 60s, he made a decision to ease back on his workload and invest in a racehorse. Thus began an adventure that would bring huge joy during the final years of his life. John lost his battle with cancer in September 2014 but the adventure continues, carried on by his three sons, Pádraig, Kieran and Niall, their mother Mary, uncle PJ and his son Brian.

Together they are the Connery Family Syndicate.
