"A Meath legend", was how he was described on the sports news this morning. I dunno about that. Epsom Derby wins and Prixs de L'Arc are grand but how many All-Ireland medals has he?

(I think he was a handy enough footballer, though).

think he had trials at soccer as well hardy, if Mick lyons was a jockey he'd carry the horse and win

Does Meath even have a flat racing track?

Johnny has lived in Kildare Town nearly 20 years, we claim him as one of our own.....

Bellewstown is mixed flat and hurdles. Used to have a chase track as well but not any more. Laytown is flat only, of course!
