County Carlow village again gearing up to welcome home hero horses

A county Carlow village is again gearing up for a hero homecoming.

Huge crowds recently turned out in Leighlinbridge to welcome home legendary local trainer Willie Mullins and successful winners from Cheltenham.

This evening from 5pm he’s back again – this time from Aintree joined by victors including ‘I Am Maximus’ and ‘Soldier in Milan’ for the latest parade.

Our Vinny Bradley will present The Home Run live from the village (4-7pm) with thanks to Campion Insurance – stay tuned for that and more.

Cllr and local businessman Michael Doran says people are ready to cheer them on;
