Quoted from a recent interview; "I love it here in Ireland,I wouldn,t race anywhere else,I,m very honoured to have great support from Willie and all the people in Ireland for our horses and i,ll continue to participate here for as long as i can. It,s wonderful.Great racing,great people,great prize money and great craic". A ringing endorsement from Mr.Ricci in regards Irish NH racing,lovely to see and fair play to him.Know it might be easy to be at one with the world considering his wealth,still think his love of NH shine through and one couldn,t begrudge him continued success.

Hopefully he stays in the game. Good owners whether in UK or Ireland are needed to keep the NH ship afloat.
