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 Tom Weekes - PIERRE BONNARD is a leading fancy for the Epsom Derby and can make a winning reappearance. A half-brother to a Group-placed performer, the selection won a Dundalk maiden in August and the Group 3 Zetland Stakes on fast ground in October before proving his versatility, ground-wise, to land the Criterium de Saint-Cloud in late-October. He clearly stays well and can defy his Group 1-penalty. A Boy Named Sioux finished second in the aforementioned Saint-Cloud race and is closely matched with Christmas Day on prior Eyrefield Stakes form. Shosholoza was fifth in the French race while James J Braddock steps up several divisions, following an impressive maiden success last year.
