Well done Denis O'Regan!

Denis O'Regan - on Black Apalachi

As a Denis O'Regan - I have to congratulate Denis O'Regan (the jockey) who came second in the Grand National yesterday.

After dominating the race, riding BLACK APALACHI (IRE), Denis O'Regan came in second.

Well done Denis Smile

 

 

Other people called Denis O'Regan

I moved schools thirteen times and in all of them I was the only Denis.

(What are the chances of that? - I guess it must be a generation thing)

However there are at least two other people I have come across that have the name Denis O'Regan - so I thought it might be useful to my friends and strangers to point out that I didn't ride in the Grand National nor was I the official photographer for Thin Lizzy in the 1980s.

You can find out more about Denis O'Regan - famous photographer here on Wikipedia and See some of his amazing photos here

and although I can't find an official website for Denis O'Regan - famous Jockey you read about him here

Another Denis O'Regan was my Grandfather born in Dungarvan, Ireland - He served in the Irish Guards.

Also Denis O'Regan son of my Great Aunt Kathleen (Dungarvan) emigrated to Australia and like me was a musician (flautist).  Sadly he died out on Oz in his fifties.  Kathleen was married to my grandfather's brother Paddy.

If your name is Denis O'Regan do let me know and I'll feature you on this page if you like.
