Hurricane Fly is crowned Horse of the Year again

Hurricane Fly was named Irish racing's outstanding performer for 2013. He is a dual Horse of the Year after his Champion Hurdle victory at Cheltenham in March and his Morgiana success. The next start for Hurricane Fly is at Leopardstown's Christmas festival in a fortnight. Joe Keeling, HRI chairman, outlined his priorities for racing in 2014. Minister for Agriculture, Food & Marine, Simon Coveney, stressed the need for efficiency between Hri and the Turf Club. The Minister expects betting legislation to be finalised early in the year.
