Probably one of JP’s getting ready for Cheltenham.
Yer man the strongest man in the world ate it.
This quote from Mr Carey in the article intrigued me.
“Two duck races on the river have been affected.”
Sounds like a right zoo down there.
When you’ve horses roaming free you’ve to find something else to bet on

Knacker is a racist term, we can argue semantics about the term racism but it’s offensive either way

Is duck racing a big sport?
Knacker can refer to anyone who is a scumbag doesn’t matter about colour, race or ethnicity

You can also be knackered, as in tired. “I’m a Kilkenny senior hurler and I’m knackered walking up the steps of the Hogan…”

It’s like Junior B… Swan-racing is the senior hurling of the competition. Big, nay huge in foreign places.
It is niche enough. Hard to find jockeys small enough that they won’t drown the ducks
They only hold the races when @balbec is at home. They line up all the ducks and swans, put Balbec in a box 20 yards behind them, then let him off.
He wouldn’t hurl ducks to spuds
Not to mention also the fella that deals with the poor calves & foals that didn’t make it.
Kilmallock must be like the Cheltenham of duck racing.

True enough. Nearly died out with the lack of any to fit the bill
