IRELAND’S DERBY CHALLENGE – QUARTER-FINAL BREAKDOWN

    IRELAND’S DERBY CHALLENGE – QUARTER-FINAL BREAKDOWN

    Ian Fortune

    In normal circumstances, Ireland providing three of the four quarter final winners would be seen as a reason to be joyous but we also lost a number of high-profile challengers.

    In all, Ireland is responsible for four of the twelve semi-finalists in the Star Sports/ TRC English Derby.

    Number of Irish trained winners in quarter finals:

    3 from a possible 4 (Ireland had a runner each of the 4 heats)

    Number of Irish trained qualifiers:

    4
