Toby Jug

Ran probably his best race yet. Looks a genunine top class staying chaser in the making. All credit to Hourigan for keeping the horse a novice for this season whether by accident or not

4 miler NH chase the target?

Looks nailed on for it and trainer said same before the race

Cheers, didnt see the interview.

I actually recall T** of all people saying he was a future for that race before Chelt 2 years ago!!!
Was at a chelt preview and he'd been over with MH!

I was given him for the same race 2 years ago too, have followed his career since!

Love to know what the real story with Hourigan and the Horse. I know many think Hourigan couldnt train ivy up a wall but he was a decent trainer once and anyway no one could get any horse so badly wrong unless it was on purpose. There was a thread on it here

Form hardly boosted by Petitfour earlier.

not having to carry tom doyle on ur back for 3 miles is surely a big help

whats wrong with tom doyle? good winner today?

sorry ur right i was thinking of philip doyle

Tom Doyle is Tom Doyle and anybody that doesnt know exactly what kind of rider Tom Doyle is should have a look at a few of his recent exhibitions and keep an eye on some of his future rides too.
He really is a sweet performer.

Can't agree with you Jimeen. Tom Doyle is too lightweight imo. Anytime I back him my heart is in my mouth. Just checked my records and I see the last time I backed him he was on Ballymac Beauty (2/1f) at Fairyhouse and out the door he came.
