My Racing StorySponsored By Tote
I'm born and bred in Laytown, 10 minutes down the road from Bellewstown. Our family came from Laytown - my father, my grandfather and my great grand-uncle have all trained on the beach at Laytown.
This year marks 300 years of horse racing in Bellewstown and I'm on the committee here probably more than 30 years. I'm currently the vice-chairman. My father has been on the committee, and my uncle has been on it along with my grandfather, so we are a long time at it. I get a great buzz from it. We have grown this racetrack from three days racing up to nine days racing this year, and we have pumped a huge amount of money into improvements especially in the last 8-10 years. We built a new stableyard which cost over €500,000 and I think that anyone that uses it has been very complimentary of it. It works very well and is close to the parade ring.

By Shane Redmond - HAMIYAN (3) drops back into maiden company after contesting a handicap at Leopardstown last week and might just be good enough. He ran on from the back of the field to finish fourth that evening and is likely to be suited by the extra few furlongs here. Camelot Queen has run over further and was third here on soft ground over a trip close to this last month. The form of that race received a timely boost with runner-up Vauntingly winning well at Killarney on Monday. Chosen One ran with some promise in a hot maiden at Naas in early May and is interesting as she tries this distance for the first time.
