Mangan reflects on colourful owner Futter's passing
Jimmy Mangan reflected on the recent passing of his pivotal owner Mike Futter at Cork today, following the success of the trainer’s Pure Steel (4/5 fav) in the opening Annual Membership Available Maiden Hurdle. Fri 17th Jan

He struck the third last here the last day and they were gone then. Mark said there was no point then as he wouldn’t get to them. He was a different horse today. It was a grand, handy, little field today. Mark said he handled that ground. I think he’s a nice horse. He’ll win a lot of races and he jumps well. It wasn’t a bad race but you have to go out and do it. I don’t know where we’ll go next but hopefully Fairyhouse for the WillowWarm or back here.

We like him. We’ll stick to two miles at the moment,. For the calibre of horses that are in the country it was a handy enough race. There was no real star in it and he was entitled to win. We could look at a novice handicap, around two miles again.

I’d never have won the National only for Mike Futter as Monty’s Pass would not pass a vet for anybody but he rang me up and said ‘if he’s healthy, I don’t want any vet near him’. He bought him on my word over the phone and the rest is history. Mike was a colourful character and gave me full control of what I wanted to do with the horse. After he finished second in the Topham Trophy, I knew then I had a horse for the National. I hadn’t much connections with him afterwards but some of the syndicate were involved in Whinstone Boy with me and I won the Thyestes Chase for them and Mike went other places.
