Two university friends and amateur jockeys with names steeped in Irish racing history line-up for today's Boylesports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse
Best pals and Trinity College students Pat Taaffe and Harry Swan were not born when their fathers and grandfathers were winning the annual Easter highlight - but both will be well aware of the huge tradition they carry into today's race.
Taaffe's grandfather also named Pat won the race six times on the likes of Arkle and Flyingbolt while his dad Tom was successful in 1987 on Brittany Boy.
