Nobody had a spring season like Cyril Murphy. The Irish-born, Maryland-based trainer won 12 races from just 24 starts, including the Iroquois Steeplechase and Temple Gwathmey with Rawnaq (Ire), the My Lady’s Manor and Virginia Gold Cup with Ebanour (Ire), the David Semmes Hurdle Stakes with Charminster (Ire) and the Margaret Currey Henley Stakes with One Lucky Lady (GB).

While Sean Clancy caught up with Murphy, photographer Anne Litz spent some time with the horses during training.
