The great Irish horse trainer Peter Casey has sadly passed away in Lourdes Hospital. He was 82-years-old.

Casey, who trained notable horses Fingal Rock and Flemenstar, is survived by his wife June.

He trained horses for both flat and jumps and won three Grade 1 chases in 2012 with Flemenstar. The farmer and trainer went viral that year during a highly entertaining RTE interview when he revealed how he would celebrate his success.

Casey was also successful as a breeder, including a Scottish National win in 2009 with Hello Bud.
