Flooring Porter was the toast of Prestbury Park on St Patrick's Day after landing the Stayers' Hurdle for the second year running.
There were scenes of jubilation in the parade wing as the Flooring Porter Syndicate, which is made up of Ned Hogarty, Tommy and Alan Sweeney and Kerrill Creaven, who are all from Ballinasloe, celebrated the win with a huge group of friends.
The horse was given the name because Hogarty runs a flooring and carpet business, while Creaven and the Sweeneys have traded as publicans and previously owned The Countryman pub in Ballinasloe.
