Een van die sprookjes die uitkomen en waar de sport het van moet hebben, een tweede Red Rum?

Legend' is a word somewhat overused, but it's difficult to complain when applied to equine star Hewick.
Famously bought for £800 by trainer Shark Hanlon, Hewick has taken the family on an incredible journey and after success in the Bet365 Gold Cup, Galway Plate, American Grand National and the King George VI Chase, the 10-year-old struck for his first victory since that Grade 1 triumph in 2023 when landing the odds over hurdles here at Thurles in a outing ahead of next month's £1m Randox Grand National at Aintree.
As a confirmed stayer with genuine top-class form over three miles, he will surely go to Aintree as one of the leading fancies for the great race - especially on good spring ground - and Hanlon was full of excitement in his post-race interview for what might lie ahead.
The trainer's son, Paddy, rides Hewick every day and partnered him on the racecourse for the first time here in a successful partnership. While this is low down in terms of the brilliant wins Hewick has registered, this is a day that will live long in the memory for the Hanlon family.
