Jockey bookings catch the eye at Downpatrick tomorrow with jockey Andrew McNamara set to partner none of his employer Edward O’Grady’s horses.
McNamara, who has partnered 22 winners this season and was on the mark with a double at Ballinrobe yesterday, today said “myself and Mr O’Grady will not be exclusively committed to each other this season and I understand I’ll ride plenty for him over the winter.” Courtesy of Irish Racing . Com “The arrangement gives me the opportunity to work more with other trainers instead.” O’Grady runs Rum And Coke (to be ridden by Davy Condon), Earth Tremor (Barry Geraghty) and The Real Tyson (Paul Townend) while McNamara himself rides Claragh Native (for trainer Arthur Moore), King'sandqueen's (Colin Bowe) and Bachelor Lad (Colin McBratney). |

It was posted on another thread that Slievedaragh's connections requested a change of jockey at Listowel (BJG) as they were unhappy about the ride it got in it's previous run,maybe a bull & cow developed out of that.

Andrew McNamara is set for a further spell on the sidelines following a heavy fall at Thurles last Thursday.
The jockey received a fall from D's Trix at the sixth last flight in the Leugh Handicap Hurdle and was subsequently taken to Limerick Regional Hospital having suffered concussion. Speaking today, McNamara said "I am feeling quite sore still and, while I'm not sure exactly when I'll return, I should know within a few days." T.Weekes. |

Is Andy on the missing list again ?

He came off one at Naas last Saturday. Got a bang on his head off the horse. I believe he won't be out for too long.

Andy rides Catch Me today. His first ride for E O'Grady since August/September. Interesting that he is now owned by Simon Davis who also owns Slieveardagh, the horse who allegedly led to Andy losing the job as stable jockey.

Just to reiterate that I got it off a daily race meeting thread off here,I can't remember who originally posted it but didn't recall anybody rebuffing the story (about losing the job) at the time.
