GRAND NATIONAL horse called The Lamb that won the race in 1868 and 1871. The Lamb was born in the Moat field – as it is cone shaped and bounded by streams – on a farm owned by the Hinchy family, and to this day it is still in the Hinchy family, “The farm is located in Ludden, Ballyneety, behind Ludden graveyard. The horse was later taken to Cappamore and reared at McGrath’s of Towerhill, cousins of Mr Hinchy . Fr Liam Ryan wrote a piece on The Lamb in the Ceapach Mhor of 2007. Fr Ryan said the tiny grey colt bore not the slightest resemblance to a future racehorse. However, it began to win small flat races. Standing barely fifteen and a half hands high the joke in England was that the horse would not be able to see over the fences let alone jump them
