My Racing StorySponsored By Tote
I live in Garristown, north Co Dublin, near Ashbourne in Co Meath. I started riding ponies when I was younger. I did a lot of hunting with the Ward Union Hunt and Fingal Harriers Hunt, and then I got into the Ward Union Pony Club. My brother, my two younger sisters and I all did the pony club for a good couple of years. We did eventing and show jumping and everything.
By Alan Magee - COLUMBUS is a smart recruit from the Flat and gets the vote to make a successful transition to hurdles for new connections. The son of Oasis Dream won three times in France and was Group 1-placed on his penultimate start over 1m4f at Cologne. Master Haku had Midnight Jet 13 lengths behind when the pair filled the placings behind Grey Jude at Cork last November and the pair both got off the mark last month with Midnight Jet showing improved form when scoring over this trip at Fairyhouse. Mr Hollywood is another useful recruit from the Flat in France for the Mullins team.
