Great news about Emer Bradley who has just completed her Junior Cert. in Athy College. Emer has been accepted by the Race Academy and will begin her training for 2016/2017 on the 27th August. We wish her well  for the future. 
Finally,  Conor Casey who graduated from the Race Academy on the 24th June continues to make progress in Dermot Weld's yard.
