ALL but one member of the Foley family from Bagenalstown were at Punchestown last Saturday when Ger and Sorcha’s eldest son Jack was crowned champion conditional jockey for the 2021/2022 National Hunt season.

The 23-year-old, who partnered 44 winners from April last year to this, never had as much interest in show jumping as the rest of his family. Jack is now attached to the local yard of Willie Mullins, who was crowned champion trainer for the 16th time on Saturday, where he gets to ride out each day with Paul Townend (champion jockey), Patrick Mullins (champion amateur) and Jody Townend (champion lady amateur).
