My Racing StorySponsored By Tote
I'm from Ballynoe, Co Cork and I rode plenty of ponies when I was younger. I had plenty of success pony racing and partnered 50 winners. I did two full seasons pony racing and plenty of lads that I rode winners for are now training on the track like Maurice Ahern and Aidan Melia, and they are doing very well at the moment which is great to see. I was champion jockey in Dingle in 2024, and I rode five winners for Maurice then. It was then nice to ride winners for him on the track. I rode a nice winner for him in Galway (Perry Mason, last October) and I rode a winner on one of the first days at the Curragh this season (Perry Mason, March).

By Alan Magee - Connections of INIS MOR (6) can be rewarded for stumping up a 50,000 euro supplementary fee. The daughter of Galiway just denied Earth Shot at Goodwood before finishing third behind the odds-on Diamond Necklace in the French Oaks over an extended 1m2f. She is bred to appreciate this step up in trip. Thundering On is the clear form pick on her impressive win in the Betfred Oaks at Epsom with Sugar Island, Cameo and Amelia Earhart all well behind. However, the form of that race hasn’t been advertised since and she was subsequently only fourth when dropping back to 1m2f on fast ground here in the Pretty Polly Stakes. The unbeaten Sparan Nua can’t be lightly discounted.
