Donnchadh Doyle reached another milestone in his career when saddling his 300th point-to-point as Pappariche came home in front of the five-year-old and upwards mares maiden at Punchestown in the hands of James Walsh.
Doyle sent out his first winner as a handler when Adios Alonso won the five-year-old geldings' maiden at Taylorstown in April 2011.
The Wexford native hasn’t look back since, and having primarily focussed on the younger age maidens, his operation is now one of the largest and most successful in the country.
His most successful season to date was the 2018-19 season where he saddled 32 winners.
Another one of his greatest feats to date was when he sent out no fewer than seven winners on the one day in March 2018, with a four-timer in Ballyarthur, a double at Lingstown, in addition to the victory of The Big Getaway at Horse and Jockey.
The latter named is one of a long list of quality performers to have emerged from Doyle’s yard, with the former champion point-to-point handler, a prize that he shared with Colin Bowe in 2015, having matched his successes in the point-to-point fields, with impressive results in the sales ring.
Doyle has had many top class track performers through his yard some of those include, Face To File, Topofthegame, The Big Breakway, Stellar Story, Classic Getaway, Bravemansgame, Farouk D’Alene, Romeo Coolio, Jalon D’oudairies, Monbeg Notorious just to name a few.
