Kingstown Molly 2nd (Coral Prince – Kingstown Molly) 1995 – 2011
The original Kingstown Molly was owned by Clifden’s Joe Gorham when she produced Kingstown Molly 2nd by Coral Prince in 1995. The filly was bought by the Mullen family of Sheeauns, Cleggan and won for them the Clifden Supreme Championship in 2005 as a 10 year old brood mare.
Pictured here with Fairyhill Molly, she was to breed 8 foals in all before her untimely death after a short illness in August 2011, the day after Clifden Pony Show, scene of her greatest showing triumph five years earlier with John Noel Mullen. Rebel Wind and Muffy were in her bloodline and also Killyreagh Kim, Ballydonagh Kate. Carna Bobby features in both her top and bottom lines.
She was the favourite of her owner John Noel who had bought her from the Kingstown Gorhams as a yearling and showed her only on 10 occasions in the 15 years he owned her, when she either won her mare class or was well placed each time. John Noel praises her remarkable good temperament at all times.
