On Thursday, July 17 at Leopardstown Racecourse, a 2-year-old filly named Josh's Joy will make her debut in the fourth race.

She is named for the late Josh Bryan, a shining light across the Thoroughbred industry and beyond, who sadly passed away in April due to complications from jaw reconstruction surgery. He was 33.

Josh was the first Taylor Made School of Horsemanship coordinator, a graduate turned mentor of the Stable Recovery program, an inspiration to everyone and truly a friend to all ❤️

Josh's Joy, a daughter of Wootton Bassett, is trained by Donnacha O'Brien and owned by Orr, Medallion, Hoffman & Weston.
