Father and son in action at Dundalk Niall McCullagh, now one of the veterans of the weigh-room, was a proud father last night at Dundalk as son Scott joined him for the first time. McCullagh junior, another graduate from pony racing, had his first racecourse mount on the Jessica Harrington-trained Jack Blue in the ten furlong apprentice race. The 16/1 shot was a never dangerous ninth but young McCullagh looks a name to note and could be in direct opposition to his father in the near future.
