You Oughta Know made a very impressive racecourse debut when absolutely bolting up in the concluding Racing Again June 4th(Pro/Am) INH Flat Race at Kilbeggan.

Incredibly, the Willie Mullins trained gelding was sent off a 3/1 shot here, although he won in the manner of a long odds-on chance.

Always travelling easily behind the pace setter, Croke Park Patrick Mullins let out an inch of rein over two furlongs from the finish and his charge immediately strode on. From that point, there was only ever going to be one winner as the Luke McMahon owned five-year-old strode clear on the bridle.

“He has a fabulous pedigree, by Beat Hollow out of a sister to Pont Alexandre,” said Patrick Mullins.

“He's not particularly a horse for this track, he probably wants a more galloping track. We went a real strong gallop and it was a messy start, 16 is probably plenty around here.

“Everyone who rode him at home liked him but he wasn't the sharpest workhorse so we didn't think he'd do what he did but a strong gallop really played into his hands.

“It was just a messy race, I didn't want to be as wide as I was but when there was a false start it was just too narrow passing the fence and we were all going.

“Once you get one false start it's a mess so I just wanted to get wide then and get a clear run. If he had got beaten I might have blamed myself but it didn't matter in the end.

“The middle of the race he fell asleep a bit with me but once I pulled him out turning out of the back and we started to pass horses he just locked on.

“I was trying not to get there too soon from a mile-and-a-half out.

“Uncle Junior won his bumper here as well, nearly as easy as him, so if he could replicate his career it would be a lot of fun.

“I rang Luke about two months ago and said 'this horse is nice, make sure and pick a good name for him'.”
