Killarney jockey Oisin Murphy features this afternoon in the final day of Longines Irish Champions Weekend at the Curragh. “A stiff five [furlongs] at the Curragh should be right up his street,” said Murphy. In 2018, Longines Irish Champions Weekend gave Murphy his first Group 1 success on home soil when landing the Irish Champion Stakes with Roaring Lion for trainer John Gosden at Leopardstown. I missed it while it was away and I’m thrilled Irish Champions Weekend is getting the go ahead [for crowds],” he said.
