Pony races to return in memory of tragic Jack

A HORSE trainer is "honoured" that the parents of Jack De Bromhead have given the go-ahead for one last pony race event this year.

John "Shark" Hanlon got the approval from Henry and Heather De Bromhead for the fixture to run after it was initially cancelled in the wake of the 13-year-old's tragic passing.

The racing community will unite to honour the young lad at the meeting which will take place at Borris, Co Carlow, on Sunday, October 2.

Avid pony-racer Jack, from Waterford, died during the Glenbeigh Festival on Rossbeigh Beach in Kerry after a fall at 5.20 pm on September 3.
