Easter Monday test to decide Jamesie plans

An Easter Monday assignment in Cork is next on the agenda for David Marnane’s much-travelled stable star Jamesie and a successful outing could spell a trip to Singapore for the KrisFlyer Sprint.

The plans for the now seven-year-old, just back from his latest sojourn in Dubai, were outlined yesterday at a media visit to Marnane’s stables in Bansha, Tipperary, when the forthcoming season at Tipperary Racecourse was also formally launched.

So far in his career for owner Damian Lavelle and family, Jamesie has earned €300,000, not bad for a horse that cost £11,000 at the Goffs Kempton Breeze-Up Sale in 2010.
