    • Tributes have been paid to Hugh Mulryan after his tragic death at the age of just 25, with BBA Ireland's Adam Potts describing his three years as Mulryan's housemate as “the best years of my life”. The son of owner-breeder Liam Mulryan, Hugh had carved out a promising career of his own in racing and bloodstock, having spent time under the wing of trainers such as Denis Hogan and Sir Mark Prescott, as well as working on the farm and at the sales for Baroda Stud. The County Galway native had recently relocated to Britain to take up a new role with Adrian Keatley in Ryedale, North Yorkshire. “We're all devastated and it's hard to come to terms with,” said Potts, who also traded a number of horses with Mulryan in recent years. “He lived with me for three years and they were the best years of my life. He was well-read, a deep thinker, and asked the big questions. Often, he'd come home having spotted either an angle in the sales, a new brunch spot, one lined up for a gamble or some African jazz musician no one had ever heard of, so there was always something to be getting stuck into! “He loved racing, but more importantly he loved horses and horses loved him. He'll be dearly missed.” Earlier this month, Mulryan signed for one of the top lots at Part 2 of the Goffs Arkle Sale, in tandem with trainer Terence O'Brien, whose County Cork stable has housed many of the horses raced by Mulryan's father in recent years. Paying his own tribute, O'Brien said, “It's a huge tragedy and I'm just absolutely gutted that he's been taken so early. It's been a massive shock to everybody. I feel hugely sorry for his dad, his mum and the rest of the family. It's an absolute shame. “I knew him kind of superficially for the last five years, but I got to know him a bit better over the last 12 to 18 months. We bought a horse together last year and through that association I was talking to him on a kind of weekly basis. He came over a few times and I went out to lunch a few times with him. I met him at the sales again this year and we bought another horse together. “I was hugely impressed with his knowledge of pedigrees and conformation. He did a lot of homework and any horse that he picked out we'd definitely have a look at. For a young lad he was very impressive and he wasn't afraid to ask for advice from anybody. I wasn't much good to give him advice, but I told him to get as much experience as you can, because he was thinking about maybe training horses as well. “He was his own man and highly intelligent. He probably didn't show it off but, the more I got to know him, the more impressed I was with him. That was the truth of it.” The team at Baroda Stud, led by David and Tamso Cox, also spoke fondly of Mulryan and their time working with him. “Incredibly sad news came on Monday that Hugh Mulryan died in the UK,” read a statement posted on Facebook. “Hugh worked with us on the farm and at the Consignment a few times over the last number of years. Such a great chap, very smart, studied Law, loved horses and had a great interest in all aspects of the industry. “David, Tamso, Brian [Delahunt] and all the team in Baroda were so sad to hear the news, we only saw him last week. Our deepest sympathy to his father Liam, his mother Christina and all his family and many friends.” To Mulryan's family and friends, the team at the TDN would also like to offer its sincere condolences.
