Landmark win at Clonmel

The name McManus is already synonymous with the National Hunt game and another member of the family secured his first winner as an owner at Clonmel.

JP McManus’ gold and green silks have been carried by the likes of Istabraq, Baracouda and most recently Binocular but his son John had not managed to hit the mark prior to River Canon’s success in the Demense Maiden Hurdle.
