A few months after winning an All-Ireland title with the Royals in 2022, she was steering St Denis’s Well to victory in a handicap hurdle at the Navan Racing Festival.
The marquee moment in Finegan's training career arrived at Navan back in 2021 when stable star Futurum Regem landed the valuable Tara Handicap Hurdle.
Should Teahupoo prevail once again, he would join a very select group of horses to have won a Grade 1 contest four times.
Donoghue’s record at his local tracks is particularly noteworthy. He has already sent out eight winners over jumps at Fairyhouse and four at Navan. It is no coincidence either.
The highlight, of course, was back in 2006 when he was crowned champion jockey. He rode a staggering 89 winners in Ireland that year to claim the coveted title.
"We have about a dozen in training at the moment, and plenty of young horses, so I would be hoping some of them might be able to pick up a race or two along the way."
