Here’s hoping Pathfork can do himself justice in Futurity

TODAY’S one of the bigger days of the season for our stable as Pathfork takes his chance in the Group 2 Galileo EBF Futurity Stakes at the Curragh.

No matter how much experience I have had at winning big races at Cheltenham, Aintree, Punchestown and the Curragh, I still get nervous before the big races. And it’s probably even worse with the two-year-olds because you’re just hoping and hoping with them.

I will probably have slept in fits and starts last night and will definitely have been up early in the morning. It’s not that I’ll be hurrying out to the box to see that he’s alright or anything like that – you don’t go unless somebody comes and tells you that there’s something wrong, that’s for sure.
