Conversely, do you think any random dude from a halting site could hop on a champion racehorse and pilot it to a win?
The anti Tipperary crew and the misogynists are up early today.

Fair play to Rachel Blackmore, I know fuck all about horseying but it’s a first in a male dominated trade so well done.
Fuck chipp.

The tipp posters are seething.
In fairness, I’d never dispute the bravery involved and fair play to her etc
Is there room for an anti Killenaule crew?
That horse was named after the Minella hotel in Clonmel
Has she replaced Bubbles & Donie O Connell as Killenaule icons ??
There’s the divide between the townie element of Donie and Bubbles and the affluent horsey set on the outskirts
There are dozens, perhaps more than 100 horses named after the hotel

This horse isn’t part of that is it? It was owned by yerman that runs the hotel and then sold to PJ McManus
Edit: You are correct actually
Minellas we used to call it. We always ask the bus driver to stop in Minellas when we were coming back from a match in Limerick or Tipp.
Was he banging Liza once upon a time?

Is Paul Shelly from killenaule too?
Isn’t there a load of greyhounds with the minella prefix too?
I love the way the Brits on ITV always mention County Tipperary when they talk about Rachael.
They seem to be in awe of the place.
I suppose it goes back to the song they all learned in school or maybe it’s because of Coolmore/Ballydoyle but you’d never really hear them talk about Willie down in County Carlow or Henry in County Waterford.
