"All I had to do was canter him around for a couple of weeks!” joked trainer John McConnell regarding Inflection Point today, as his recent acquisition won Dundalk's Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Handicap.
Claimed for €12,000 from trainer Ado McGuinness following a mid-field finish in a course claimer on November 9, the six year old today notched a fifth success, scoring narrowly under jockey Siobhan Rutledge
McConnell added “he's a grand horse, was down to a good mark and had a nice run the last day. The strong pace suited as he had something to aim at and still probably got there a little bit soon.
"We left off all the headgear, that was the only change we did; he used to be very straightforward and he came to us in good nick. I'm delighted for the lads (Saturday Night Racing Syndicate) and Siobhan.
"We will be busy up until Christmas and then take a breather for a few days. We seem to be getting one winner every week or nearly every week, so it is going well."
