A "Very emotional" Henry de Bromhead has given thanks to all those that have supported him after Minella Indo took home victory at Tramore today.
The famed trainer's family was hit by tragedy in 2022 when Jack de Bromhead, Henry's son, passed away following a pony racing accident in September.
Since then, there has been an outpouring of grief and support for the family, with many in the horse racing community paying tribute to Jack in the months since his passing.
