Whinstone Brings Back Memories of Monty's
Those with long memories will remember Ruby Walsh riding winners for Jimmy Mangan on horses such as Ajar and Greenflag Princess and those that saw their teaming up as significant were rewarded when Whinstone Boy (9s in the morning into 6/1) stayed on best to beat Peak Raider by two lengths in the Littleton Handicap Hurdle. Fri 16th Jan
It's great to win this race as my father won it 29 years ago with June's Friend, which I led up! It's a race I've always wanted to win,. He beat Powerstation at Thurles and he went on to win well at Leopardstown so you had to fancy him on that. Soft ground is the big key to him. The three lads that own him are from Belfast and were involved with Monty's Pass. I would have been disappointed if he didn't get in here and I had the Galmoy Hurdle as a saver. The lads love Liverpool and he'll go for the Topham Chase. He'll get an entry for the Grand National but probably won't get in. He's had a slight few problems and was a bit weak in his tendons. I told Sean to make plenty of use with him with the light weight. This is my biggest day since Aintree.

My son Patrick splintered his ulna in three places when this fellow fell at Clonmel last week. He is gone back in for x-rays on it today. I'm eyeing up a good staying chase for Whinstone Boy. He is a 117 over fences and he could be a Thyestes horse.
James Joseph Mangan
Whinstone Boy ran a great race at Aintree the last day and he may get a summer's break now as he wont run on fast ground.
James Joseph Mangan
Emmet said that he is really a three miler. Stamina is his game and Emmet's five pound claim was a big help. He'll have a few more runs over hurdles before he goes chasing. (EM)
James Joseph Mangan
It is nice winning over the wrong distance as Ruby said to me. This horse has won two point-to-points and may turn out again at the weekend at either Fairyhouse or Cork where he is in a three miler.
