‘Special’ Percy is a dream come true for Reynolds

Owner Philip Reynolds is “counting down the days” to the Cheltenham Festival as he eyes Magners Gold Cup glory with Presenting Percy.

The son of former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds, the likeable owner does not possess the numbers of Gigginstown House Stud and JP McManus - with a string of “20-odd” horses in training - but has enjoyed a Cheltenham Festival winner in each of the last three seasons.
