Liberty Counsel (horse)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liberty Counsel is an Irish bred racehorse that won the Irish Grand National in 2013.[1] This mare was considered a long shot,[2] having lost at Cheltenham a few weeks earlier.[3] She was born March 23, 2003, out of My Free Mantel Vii, and by Leading Counsel.[4]

Liberty Counsel, which was trained by Dot Love and ridden by Ben Dalton, won by half a length at a starting price of 50–1.[5][6][7]
