General in charge on start two

On start number two Ballydoyle's General Macarthur was second market-choice behind Michael O'Callaghan's well-touted newcomer, Blue De Vega, for the www.dundalkstadium.com Maiden. However Aidan and Joseph O'Brien's War Front colt proved best out on the track in the seven furlong event. Sun 06th Sep

After race at Curragh Mon, 6th Aug, 2018 (1st)

He deserved that, and has been running consistently. He's been finding it hard to get his head in front, and Colin said he holds on to a bit for himself. He's a good sound horse, and we'll look for something similar.

T G McCourt

After race at Dundalk Wed, 18th Apr, 2018 (1st)

He was down the right end of the handicap. I thought six furlongs was more his trip but he was very well at home. The only thing putting me off is that he hadn't won before although he was competitive off 80 here a couple of years ago. Hopefully there might be another race or two in him.
