SIX IRISH WINNERS IN SUCCESSION ON A DAY AT THE FESTIVAL EQUALS RECORD
The first six winners today, St Patrick' Thursday, were Irish-trained and this equals the record first seen in 2011.
Irish-trained horses have on three occasions been successful six times in a day at The Festival previously (on this day in 2016, on Gold Cup Day in 2014 & on Ladies Day in 2011) but only on the latter occasion were there six Irish winners in succession.
