I\u2019ve had a good week with some nice winners and broke a record at Ayr on Monday\u2026 Dreams of Home was my 100th<\/sup> winner of the season \u2013 apparently it was the quickest time in which a Northern jockey has reached the 100 winners mark, so that was pretty cool. I rode a treble the next day at Sedgefield and have had a quieter week since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m at Bangor tomorrow where I have five rides and will be trying to keep the winning momentum up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Saturday 27th<\/sup> November \u2013 Bangor:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

12.15pm \u2013 Heartbreak Kid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He ran well the last day, his first run of the season. He needed the run, finished 3rd<\/sup> and was only beaten 4lengths \u2013 he ran really well but got tired. It\u2019s not a bad race tomorrow but he\u2019s got a nice racing weight and we\u2019re fairly hopeful for a big run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.22pm \u2013 Tanarpino<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t really know much about Tanarpino. He was a winner at Bangor over 2m4f two starts ago, and I think the ground was probably a little bit quick for him \u2013 although they called it good to soft, Sean Quinlan thought it was a bit quick for him. Obviously without knowing the horse or having ridden him before, I don\u2019t know what to expect and I\u2019d be more hopeful than confident. He\u2019s won off higher marks in the past, so I\u2019d like to think he\u2019ll run a decent race if on top form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.57pm \u2013 Richmond Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This horse surprised us all by the way he won over course and distance a couple of weeks ago \u2013 he put in a hell of a performance and won by 15lengths. We thought he\u2019d need his first run and obviously the horse who finished 2nd<\/sup>, Creative Control, went out and won the other day, another one of ours. He\u2019s a nice type of horse and a reproduction of his last run would see him go pretty close. We\u2019re looking forward to running him on Saturday and arguably I could make a case for him being my best ride of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.32pm \u2013 Gredin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s a nice big horse owned by a football manager, David Moyes, and his friends \u2013 he won well the last day, a stiff 2m4f seemed to suit him. There are a couple of interesting runners in this; Thunder Rock was a good winner for Olly Murphy last time and Stag Horn is a very highly rated flat horse, so if he transfers his flat ability to hurdles, he could be tough to beat. We expect Gredlin to run a decent race and think he could be seen in a better light over fences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.42pm \u2013 Jungle Jack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s a horse who\u2019s having his first run for us. A point-to-point winner over a year ago \u2013 not entirely sure why he\u2019s had a year, but I know the trainer (Donald McCain) likes him a lot, so I\u2019d be hopeful for a decent run. The other horse I could have ridden, Stroll On By, for Charlie Longsdon, ran well the last time and was a bit unlucky. I think he\u2019ll take some beating but I\u2019m hoping Jungle Jack gives him a good run at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
