Natalia Lupini is a psychology graduate from Milan and has her own training yard just outside Banbridge in Down. She has no equine background in her family and a strong Italian accent. Lupi bought Abstraction at Goresbridge Breeze-Ups a decade ago and brought her to Dubai Carnival. Alnahar got her motoring at Dundalk in early 2016. Blairmayne is still flying the flag as a nine-year-old. Dontspoilasale, Lecale’s Destiny and Stayincotai have helped cement her place as trainer. They are all racing today at Leopardstown.
