About

Derry Lad is a 7yo b trained by E Mullins in Carlow. He is by Epaulette out of Romea and has secured four wins so far. On 26 June 2023 at Pontefract he captured his biggest prize, the £31,478 Cl3 Hcp. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; a continuous backing would have delivered a 13% return on investment.
