Sat 04 Apr 2007A dynasty not ready to be reined inGrand National Interview: Brian O'Connortalks to Paul, Philip and Nina Carberry, members of a family whose instinctive talent to get horses running and jumping, and enjoying it, suggests it must be stamped on their DNA.On Monday, Nina, Paul and Philip Carberry dutifully lined up for pictures in the parade ring before the Irish National at Fairyhouse: two brothers and their sister about to ride in Ireland's most valuable jump race. Today Paul and Philip will line up again for those keen to record even more familial history before the most famous Grand National of all: if it's Saturday, it must be Aintree. When it comes to being a Carberry these days, it's hard to go solo, rather like not getting Noel Gallagher without Liam.
