The winner's enclosure was turned orange and white at the weekend as Denis Murphy's Ballyboy Stables won 5️⃣ races across three different fixtures. 🏆

The feat was all the more impressive considering that he has had to train 25 of his horses out of a field at Jamie Codd's yard, due to the effects of rapeseed crop which is growing nearby his own stables.

We caught up with the Wexford handler to hear all about it.
