Biography of the artist Alan Quigley an Irish born postwar & contemporary artist. He was born during the mid 20th century in 1950and grew up in Drumbeg County Down which was located outside of Belfast Northern Ireland. In his early childhood at infant school he had a great talent for art very early on. He loved art and wanted to be around it so when he left school he took a job framing pictures along with repairing damaged artworks. He could also play the guitar professionally & he was known to have worked with and appeared alongside many of the top show bands during the 1960’s. During these years and into the 1970’s he practiced to create his own unique artistic style. He had no official formal art academy training.
Due to fate he met the known Irish artist Dan O’Neill whilst he was in Northern Ireland, he was heavily influenced by O’Neill. Quigley had his very first exhibition which comprised views from his immediate birthplace countryside that showed his own expressiveness. He had many private commissions. He had a combined venture with Tim Shaw who was a known sculptor. He also painted and became friends with a number of snooker sporting celebrities like Alex Higgins also Denis Taylor. During the 1980’s he began to produce his first works of typical Irish life. He also started to trial using acrylics absorbing the style Dan O’Neill had shown him many years earlier. His works enrapture the historical moments from the past conveyed in his use of lively colours. His works are so highly sought after & are in collections around Ireland, USA, Canada, United Kingdom in London and also on the European southern continent. Known collectors of his paintings are the celebrity tv cook Rick Stein. He has exhibited at the James Gallery
Biography of the race horse Dont Push It. Sire Old Vic, Grandsire, sadlers Wells. Dam She's no Laugh Ben, Damsire, Alleged, Sex Gelding, Foaled 6 June 2000, Country Ireland, Colour Bay, Breeder Dominick Vallely. Owner J.P.McManus, Trainer Jonjo O Neill, Record 29:8-4-4. Earnings £754,616 Don't Push It (foaled 6 June 2000) is a Grand National-winning thoroughbredracehorse in England. Debut Don't Push It began his career on 5 December 2004 at Warwick in a National Hunt flat race, finishing third. His first full season began at Market Rasen on 24 September 2005 where he won a National Hunt flat race. Shortly before Christmas, he had his first start over hurdles, which he also won. However, he did not run again that season.
Early the next season, he had his first race over fences. He was again victorious and, for the first time, was partnered by AP McCoy. He was beaten next time out at Cheltenham in a Novices Chase by Denman, who won by a length despite veering dramatically left handed. A month later, Don't Push It returned to the course to record another victory over fences. His next run was in February at Chepstow, where he won by 23 lengths. He headed to Cheltenham for the Festival (Arkle Challenge Trophy) but fell when in with a chance. The race was won by My Way de Solzen. Don't Push It then tried again at Aintree and only beat one home, finishing fifth. Don't Push It won the 2010 Grand National by five lengths ahead of Black Apalachi, giving AP McCoy his first win in the Grand National at his fifteenth attempt. Don't Push It's retirement was announced on 10 January 2012. O'Neill explained that the twelve-year-old "had not really been sparkling and the last thing we wanted was to make him carry on doing something he was not really happy with.
The 2010 Grand National (officially known as the John Smith's Grand National for sponsorship reasons) was the 163rd renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 10 April 2010. The main race was held at 16:15 BST and was won by Don't Push It, ridden by Tony McCoy, five lengths ahead of Black Apalachi in second, and twenty ahead of State of Play in third. It was McCoy's first win in the Grand National at his fifteenth attempt. Don't Push It started the race as 10–1 joint-favourite, having been backed down from 20–1 in the hours prior to the race. In the process of winning, McCoy avoided equalling the record for most rides in the National without winning, held by Jeff King. The main race was seen by the largest attendance at Aintree since 2005, with a crowd of 70,341 on the day, and a total of 150,426 attending over the course of the three-day meeting.
