Ever wondered who'd win in a race between Mark Rohan and Davy Russell?

You’re about to find out.

DOUBLE PARALYMPIC GOLD medallist Mark Rohan will take on champion jockey Davy Russell for charity next Saturday, March 9.

Two of Ireland’s sporting heroes go head-to-head in ‘Man vs Beast’ in aid of Turn2me.org – an online mental health community providing support to those who need it. Part of the proceeds will also go to Paralympics Ireland and the Injury Jockey Fund.

The race will consist of one lap of Kilkenny’s Gowran Park and is just one segment of the the day-long racing event.

Who’s your money on?
