My Racing StorySponsored By Tote
I'm from Moyglass, Co Tipperary and I had a pony at home which I rode out around the gallop at my grandfather's (trainer Matty Tynan) place. I'd see the lads riding out at home and I'd want to ride out with them. I kept asking my grandad and uncle, and they kept saying to wait a while, so I rode the ponies for a few years. Even before I started riding out, my grandad would come out with me after school every day on the pony. He taught me what to do and what not to do. He also helped me a lot when I was pony racing and he has been great in giving me that start.
By John O'Riordan - With the Joseph O'Brien string in rude health, OBSCENITY can provide the trainer with yet another success. Fourth in a big field at the Curagh on his final start last terms, the Fastnet Rock gelding is almost certainly capable of better. With an official rating of just 66, it is surely significant that leading connections have elected to keep the gelding in training as a four-year-old. Perhaps the application of first-time cheekpieces will bring about the necessary improvement. Runner-up at Gowran Park on Wednesday, Justenzia has every chance of going one better. Provided the race doesn't come too soon, she will be a strong contender. Baila Conmigo would be interesting if replicating his all-weather form back on grass.
