My Racing StorySponsored By Tote
I'm from Craughwell, Co Galway and mam and dad have a yard at home. Horses were always around when I was growing up. I was quite young when dad's Berties Dream won in Cheltenham (Grade 1 Albert Bartlett in 2010 for Paul Gilligan) and I can still remember the day when he came back to the yard with all the local people coming back to see him. There were also plenty of other big days where dad trained winners. It is fair to say I was born into the game. I did a bit of pony racing and I was very lucky to ride plenty of winners. Then Covid-19 arrived and it was brought to a stop for a while when I was just short of the 100-winner mark. Pony racing really helps your racecraft and tunes you in for when you do go to the track.
