HUGE crowds turned out to watch the finals of the Con and Annie Kirby races in the Limerick Greyhound Stadium.
The final of the Con & Annie Kirby Memorial Stake was the main event at Limerick Greyhound Stadium on Saturday night, but a bonus was in store with two Aintree Grand National winners making an appearance before the big race.
Trained by Willie Mullins, I Am Maximus received a warm welcome from the crowd as he was paraded in front of a packed stand by handlers from Martinstown Stud along with 2021 champion Minella Times, trained by Henry de Bromhead.
I Am Maximus, owned by sponsors of the Con & Annie Kirby Memorial, Noreen and JP McManus, posed in front of cameras and enjoyed all the fuss that was made for him along with his stablemate Minella Times. I Am Maximus's triumph at the Aintree Grand National has etched its name in the annals of sporting history, with its breathtaking performance. The horse's route to victory, guided by expert jockey Paul Townend and trainer Willie Mullins, saw him storming past his rivals to claim the top prize.
