After race at Sligo Tue, 11th Jun, 2024 (1st)

I've been point-to-pointing for Colin Bowe but I'm doing the course next week and will be turning professional. I'm going to be based with Colm Murphy and am looking forward to it. I've had five rides for Liam (Cusack) and three have won. That's my third winner under Rules and I've ridden four point-to-point winners.

Jockey Berry, representing Liam P Cusack

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 2nd Oct, 2021 (1st)

I gave him a break after winning at Ballinrobe as I wasn’t too keen running him on goodish ground again.

Liam P Cusack

After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 23rd Aug, 2021 (1st)

He’s been knocking on the door and run some smashing races. He was a bit unlucky here in the Mayo National and had a bit of a look when he hit the front.
