Both horses were formerly owned by the late ‘grand old lady’ of local horse racing, Margaret ‘Peggy’ Hagan, an ardent supporter of jump racing for decades.

They are now owned by Mrs Hagan’s daughter, Margaret Simpson, who is also from Ballyclare.

James Hagan, Founder and Chair of Hagan Homes said: “Stratford Racecourse is one of England’s leading small jumps racecourses.

“We are absolutely delighted that our family and trainer Graham McKeever are keeping the flame of Peggy’s dream burning bright.”
