Black Mask being led in by my father, Dr W.J.Purcell, after winning the Steward's Cup at Naas in 1943. My father is seen here being congratulated by his friend Mr Peter Lawler of Jigginstown. Black Mask was ridden by Mickey Gordon who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Punchestown Races on the 17th November 2001 when Mickey was 87 years old.
