MOM IS A MOM

Ian Fortune

Those that frequent Shelbourne Park will remember fondly Hello Mom.

During 2022 and 2023 she was something of a regular fixture in Dublin and really endeared herself to punters with her racing style. A flying trapper that kept on finding when on the bunny, she was something of a star for Liam O’Connor and Ray Melia, competing in and winning in top company on many occasions.

Now under the care of Danny Cawley in her retirement, the good news came through over the weekend that she has just had her first litter. Liam O’Connor confirmed she had seven pups, consisting of five dogs and two bitches by one of the best stud dogs around at present, Ballymac Cashout.

Thankfully, he reports them healthy and well and is understandably excited to see how they turn out. Certainly, if they are as game and as consistent as their dam, they will plenty of races.
