Dorans memories with Young Man

Michael Hourigan only came off the “cold list” when The Crafty Butcher scored at Clonmel on Thursday and, like waiting on a bus, sure enough the Patrickswell trainer didn’t have to wait long for the next one to come along as A Fine Young Man landed a touch in the beginners chase at Cork. Sun 31st Mar

After race at Naas Sun, 11th Mar, 2012 (1st)

Boston Bob will be kept to the end of the week for the Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle. I was talking to Mr Wylie (owner) this morning and that is what I said and he is happy enough to do that. Midnight Game, Simenon and Allure of Illusion will probably be my three runners in the Supreme Novice Hurdle while Mark Your Mark and Sous Les Cieux will run in the Neptune Novices. I've not made decision on which race Felix Yonger will run in yet. In the World Hurdle I will have four runners - Mourad, Mikael d'Haguenet, So Young and Thousand Stars.

W P Mullins

After race at Naas Sun, 7th Mar, 2010 (1st)

It's a nice change of luck for Tom and it's his first horse with me,. Patrick wanted to do that (make the running) as he said to me beforehand that he didn't think there would be much pace on. This horse will gallop all day. His dam is a half-sister to Strong Platinum and it's a nice pedigree. He'll probably go for a winners bumper and then next year go hurdling.
