Show And Go scored his second career and course win at Downpatrick today as the Henry De Bromhead trained gelding landed the Strictly For Beginners Chase under Grand National winning jockey David Mullins.

The son of Stowaway’s only previous win came over this course and distance (2m2f) in a July 2015 handicap hurdle and following today’s win, the Champion Chase winning trainer stated “David gave him a really well-timed ride. I thought we might have been beaten coming to the last but seemed to have a little bit in reserve.

“He's been a little bit unfortunate with various things and I'm delighted for his owner John Phelan who is based in London. He has two horses with us and they have both won this summer - Lady Of Portlairge he owns in partnership and this horse I recommended to him in the yard when his previous owners were selling him. I thought there could be another race in him so John bought him."

My Racing Story. Eoin Staples

I'm from a little village in Wexford called Duncormick. My dad didn't ride horses, but he had a keen interest in pedigrees and watches a lot of racing. I probably started riding horses through my brother Sean who started before me. I saw Sean riding horses and enjoying it, and then he went on riding racehorses. I started riding and I broke into racehorses then with a local trainer down the road called John Walsh. Sean went away down to another trainer Michael Murphy. I was at my local riding lesson school and John Walsh came over to me and asked me if I wanted to come down on a Saturday. I went down and I loved it, so I went back and I went racing most Sundays when I was 11 or 12. The first day I went in there I was probably about 10 and I rode a horse that day. Her name was Mandy Carroll and she actually won a couple of point-to-points and a hunters chase on the track at Cork as well.
