JJ SLEVIN wins the Boylesports Irish Grand National.

Meanwhile, it has been a great start to the week for JJ (James Josph) Slevin, from Caim, near Enniscorthy, who won the Boylesports Irish Grand National on General Principle, (20/1), who was bred at Eoin Banville’s Arctic Tack Stud at Newbawn, Foulksmills.
Son of Shay and Elizabeth Slevin, JJ started out in point-to-points, riding his first winner at Ballydarragh in 2010, and amassed a total of 34, and 11 as an amateur, including two in the UK for Nigel Twiston-Daves, before turning professional in August 2016.
He enjoyed early success on the track but shot to prominence when winning the handicap hurdle on Gordon Elliott’s Champagnde Classic at the March 2017 Cheltenham Festival.
He rode his first Grade 1 winner at the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown in February of this year on Tower Bridge, trained by his cousin, Joseph O’Brien, at Piltown, near Carrick-On-Suir.
Winning the Irish Grand National is a dream come through for JJ who holds a degree in journalism from Griffith College, Dublin, and at this exciting stage of his career he allows the horses to write the headlines for him.
