🌧️ There was rain… and then there were tears of joy at the Curragh on Saturday. 💚🏇What a moment as Nina Carberry made a triumphant return to the saddle, steering Ndaawi, trained by Gordon Elliott, to victory in the Pat Smullen Cancer Trials Ireland Charity Race, supported by Ballylinch Stud.
It was truly special to welcome Nina back to winning ways - and even more so for such an important cause and in front of her two daughters who had never seen Mum race. ❤️
All 19 riders gave it their all, both in the saddle and through their incredible fundraising efforts for Cancer Trials Ireland. An unforgettable display of courage, generosity and racing spirit. 👏

🏇 Three Group 3 contests also produced three exciting winners on the day:
🥇 Sea of Rain under Colin Keane was not for passing in the Newtownanner Stud Irish EBF Stakes. A first Group success at the Curragh for Jim Bolger since 2021.
🥇 Push The Boat Out and Seamie Heffernan landed the Heider Family Stables Round Tower Stakes for trainer Michael O’Callaghan.
🥇 Miss Scott guided by Christophe Soumillon landed the Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes for trainers John & Thady Gosden.

🏆 Loughrea continued his unbeaten run in style, landing a hat-trick of handicap victories with a comfortable success in the feature race, the Tote Irish Cambridgeshire for father-and-son team Andrew and Andy Slattery. 🎩👏

Congratulations to all the winning connections, and a huge thank you to every one of the 19 riders who gave their all for the Pat Smullen Charity Race and Cancer Trials Ireland.
An incredible effort, for an incredibly worthy cause. 💚
