No doubt, the star turn at Dundalk last Friday was A Case Of You. A winner at Dundalk last March, he went on to land the Prix de l’Abbaye at ParisLongcham.
I m from Baltinglass, Co Wicklow. I actually dropped out of school to do a plumbing apprenticeship with John Lennon who trained a few horses down the road from us. He always had a few horses knocking about. I started off with him as a plumber and the plumbing then went a little bit quiet, so I did an odd morning mucking out for him. Eventually I was thrown up on a horse one day - I never started riding until I was 16 or 17 and we took it from there.
