Jazzit gains first success, for 'underrated rider' Ryan Jazzit (11/2) gained a maiden success in Dundalk’s Celebrate Your Special Occasion At Dundalk Stadium Handicap (Div II) today, with winning rider James Ryan later receiving praise from successful trainer Tom McCourt. Beaten 16 times previously, the son of Harry Angel today scored a short-head battling success over Boston Max . Regarding the THW Syndicate-owned winner, McCourt said "Jazzit had been running over five and six (furlongs) as I thought he was too weak to get a trip earlier in the year. He's a big, leggy, rakish horse and, over six, his head came back and he looked ungenuine, but I'd say he is very genuine. I'd say he has got stronger, he just needs that trip and to settle into things. "He stepped up to seven and Sadhbh (Tormey) rode him in Leopardstown where he missed the kick, but it suited him, as he got into a nice rhythm and finished out very well. "James (Ryan) is deadly around here, he's a serious pilot and is strong and very underrated. He doesn't get half of what he should be getting.” Quotes from Michael Graham
