Trainer Ronan McNally Hit With A Massive 12-Year Ban

Trainer Ronan McNally has been disqualified from Irish racing for 12 years, charged €50,000 in costs and ordered to return over €13,000 in prize-money after being found guilty of multiple sanctions by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board.

McNally was found to have conspired with fellow trainer David Dunne to conceal his ownership of Full Noise and All Class, for which, Dunne has been hit with a two-year ban for bringing racing into disrepute.

Dunne was also handed a €5,000 fine and ordered to forfeit his prize-money which was deemed to have been won by illicit means.

The rule 212 covers improvement in form, and it was under that rule that McNally's Dreal Deal was disqualified from wins at Limerick and Navan in the autumn of 2020. The Jam Man has also been disqualified from finishing second in a Limerick race under rule 275, which covers horses who have been the subject of fraudulent practice.

McNally must forfeit €13,400 in prize-money while Dunne must hand over €27,000 to for winnings achieved with All Class and Full Noise.

In a report published by the IHRB on Tuesday, it stated, “The committee regards the findings against Mr McNally as very serious. His offences strike at the integrity and the objective of having a level playing field for all who send horses out to race. They also involved a deception of the public, especially the betting public.”

Nando Parrrado Keeps Delivering for the McCartans

Paul and Marie McCartan know a thing or two about Nando Parrado (GB), having bought him as a foal, raced him, and retained part-ownership of the son of Kodiac (GB) since his retirement to the Irish National Stud. They were, therefore, pleased to be able to welcome the G2 Coventry S. winner's first foal on Saturday at their Ballyphilip Stud.

The filly foal is a daughter of Cafetiere (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), who was herself a winning juvenile over five furlongs and is a half-sister to G3 Prix du Bois winner Percolator (GB) (Kheleyf). The mare has already produced the G2 Norfolk S.-placed Imperial Force (Ire) (Camacho {GB}).

Of the latest arrival at Ballyphilip, Paul McCartan said, “I'm delighted with her. We've had four mares foal already and they are all fillies but she is the best of them. She's a good size, with a strong gaskin and forearm, a very nice head, and she is very much the same shape as Nando Parrado himself. He was a very good-looking foal.”

Bred by Anita Wigan, Nando Parrado, who is out of the Argentinean Grade 3 winner Chibola (Arg) (Roy), was the pinhook that returned to Ballyphilip. McCartan, who is as noted as a foal buyer as he is as a breeder, bought him for 165,000gns as a weanling at Tattersalls and then bought the colt back at 200,000gns at the December Yearling Sale. It proved a shrewd move, as six months later Nando Parrado won the Coventry at Royal Ascot on his second start for Clive Cox. He was also runner-up in both the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere.

McCartan sent three mares to Nando Parrado in his first season at the Irish National Stud, where he is owned by a syndicate and covered 130 mares in total.

He added, “They all got in foal first pop. He's an extremely fertile horse. I've another mare due a foal by him on 10 February. I'm hoping to get some colts soon. The more fillies I have the more colts I'll be buying at the sales!”

2023 Mating Plans, Presented by Spendthrift: Peter Brant-Mares in Europe

With the doors to the breeding sheds set to open any day, the TDN has been talking to owners and breeders about what matings they have planned for their top mares in 2023. Up today: Peter Brant, whose mares in America are profiled in today's TDN American edition, and his European mares below. Click here to read about his American mares.

ROSA BONHEUR (15, Mr. Greeley-Rolly Polly {Ire}, by Mukaddamah) to be bred to Churchill (Ire)

Rosa Bonheur is the dam of Raging Bull and the dam of a nice horse we have in Europe called Kubrick (Ire). I bred her to Churchill. I like the distance that Churchill is getting and I wanted to breed a grass horse that could really go the distance. I thought the Galileo through Churchill with the speed of Rosa Bonheur would be a good cross.

JUSTLOOKDONTTOUCH (IRE) (15, Galileo {Ire}-Hellenic {Ire}, by Darshaan {GB}) will be bred to Dubawi

She is going back to Dubawi because she has a Dubawi colt called Francesco Clemente in Europe with John Gosden who is three-for-three and looks to be a really nice horse.

BLOWOUT (GB) (7, Dansili-Beauty Parlour {GB}, by Deep Impact) will be bred to Kingman

She won the GI First Lady and a number of stakes (GII Longines Distaff Turf Mile, Pebbles S., Wild Applause S.) Again, I'm breeding miler to miler, both good speed horses, but who rated well.

BEAUTY PARLOUR (GB) (14, Deep Impact {Jpn}-Bastet (Ire), by Giant's Causeway) to be bred to Sottsass

She's the dam of Blowout and some other very nice horses. She's been throwing mile to mile-and-a-sixteenth horses. Sottsass was good to a mile and a half, with a lot of range, very scopey, I thought it would be a good cross.

BONANZA CREEK (Ire) (13, Anabaa-Bright Moon, by Alysheba) to be bred to Frankel

Bonanza Creek is the dam of (G1-placed) Stone Age (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), and I'm going to breed her to Frankel. I like the Galileo influence here; Stone Age is by Frankel, Frankel is also Galileo, and she is a beautiful mare. I just thought Frankel would be great there.

MY SISTER NAT (FR) (8, Acclamation {GB}-Starlet's Sister {Ire} by Galileo (Ire}) to be bred to Dubawi

SISTERCHARLIE (FR) (9, Myboycharlie {Ire}-Starlet's Sister {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) to be bred to Dubawi.

My Sister Nat (Fr) and Sistercharlie (Fr) are both being bred to Dubawi. It's a great, great cross. Dubawi is a great stallion. They are mares that loved to go a distance of ground. Dubawi is a super middle-distance sire. This is a triple A-plus cross. Sistercharlie is current in foal to Dubawi, and My Sister Nat is in foal to Kingman.

QUIDURA (GB) (10, Dubawi-Quetana (Ger), by Acatenango {Ger}) to be bred to Sea the Stars

She is a multiple Group winner in the US. She's by Dubawi, and we're breeding her Sea the Stars. She's a beautiful mare. She's a middle-distance mare. Sea The Stars gets nice long-distance horses as well as milers, and we wanted to breed to Sea The Stars because he's a great stallion, and she was the best mare we thought suited him. She's an exceptional-looking mare, a very choice mare. I bought her after she retired.

PRECIEUSE (IRE) (9, Tamayuz {GB}-Zut Alors {Ire}, by Pivotal {GB}), to be bred to Frankel

We have a really beautiful two-year-old that is by Frankel who is at Ballydoyle, and who is a wonderful example of the horse, so she'll go back to Frankel.

NEWSPAPEROFRECORD (IRE) (7, Lope De Vega {Ire}-Sunday Times {GB}, by Holy Roman Emperor) to be bred to Frankel

UNI (GB) (9, More Than Ready-Unaided by Dansili), to be bred to Frankel

These are two different-style mares. Both had tremendous speed ratings and both were great middle-distance horses. Frankel gets you great middle-distance horses and great classic horses. I'm trying to breed Classic horses. If they turn out to be sprinters, great, but I try to raise a great mile-and-a-quarter horse. The greatest horse races in the world are the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic and they're both at a mile and a quarter.
