The winner Uacterlainn Riac won £175 but despite the poor prize money the track experienced record crowds. John Crowley a local pub owner (Western Star in Cork) trained Uacterlainn Riac and Jerry Crowley from Ovens owned him. Uacterlainn Riac also won the McAlinden Cup the same year. Cork legend states that the pub was closed for days to huge celebratory crowd afterwards. Uacterlainn Riac (meaning Creamery Brindle) had an attempt at hurdling after the Derby but failed to take to them and plans for a Grand National double were scrapped.[2][3]

gollark: I checked, I have more but they all break.
gollark: I only have something like three installed as far as I know, and they're all broken.
gollark: I'd kind of expect other people to have noticed and reported this if it is actually a general problem with these versions, since I'm using calibre and qt from the repos.
gollark: I tried downgrading it from 5.14.2 to 5.14.1 or something, but that didn't do anything, and I probably can't downgrade further without just reverting all my package versions to a week or so ago, which is not ideal.
