Senior Jockey
All set for a weekend to remember at Leopardstown.
Straight Home , leased when rated 97 heads for the Paddy and Maureen Mullins Mares Hurdle.
When the option came up I thought " Great ! One rated so low will only be allowed one bad race before being sent home !"
Her Tramore debut for us had Paul using all his force, guile and bloody mindedness to barely finish third.
Listowel saw her pipped a short head, just a week after we lost Johnny Mooney , one of the syndicate members in a freak accident.
Clonmel she came good, got a 9 lb hike and duly went into hiding with this race in mind.
Rated 112 she should be better over further, is jumping 2-3 grades in class without the experience of running against better company, yet is second favourite and may be Paul's only ride in a handicap all weekend.
His course record with me is 100%, many years ago as an apprentice he won a flat handicap on Espartano, trained then by Tom Hogan. Tom's Cast A Spell is the one to beat here and at 20/1 is just too big a price.
Come on us, whatever happens we should enjoy the moment.
