Thurles jockey Cian Quirke is rapidly making a name for himself in the Irish jump racing scene and scaled new heights at Fairyhouse yesterday.
And the 21-year-old’s winning effort on Maggie Walsh at the County Meath venue on Wednesday was even described by winning trainer James Bowe as the “ride of the century.”
"That's not just the ride of the year, it's the ride of the century," the winning trainer told irishracing.com after Qurike had just touched off Davy Russell and the odds on favourite So Des Flos by a nose in a driving finish.
