- At one time a man named Burke owned Ballybricken. He had no money and he had no means of getting it. The Grand National was about to be run in England, and he wagered the whole estate of Ballybricken on an Irish horse called "Na bach leis". If the horse won he would get one thousand pounds and if he lost he would have to forfeit his estate.
At the last fence the horse fell and Mr. Burke fainted but the jockey mounted again and won the race.- Collector
