Dreamers in Horse Training: Racing Post Explores the Passion and Dedication of Trainers

The town of Trim in County Meath, Ireland, is known for its dominant castle, which was built by Norman invaders in the 12th century. The castle’s builders, the Mortimer family, are famous for their controversial history, with Roger Mortimer being particularly notorious for his actions, including deposing and executing King Edward II. Additionally, Trim is associated with the racing industry, as it is the home of Capranny Stud, where young Gordon Elliott began his journey by sending Silver Birch to win the Grand National in 2007. This marked the town’s place in horse racing history and its ongoing contribution to the sport.
