"I started training at 42 with a six-month-old child, so it was total madness!"

Jessica Harrington was among the big winners at the annual Horse Racing Ireland Awards.

The Moone-based trainer clinched the National Hunt award ahead of the likes of Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins, while her Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Sizing John was named Horse of the Year at a glamorous reception at Leopardstown racecourse.
