Jake Peter is proving a great money-spinner for owner/breeder Frank McNulty, and the dual purpose gelding made it five wins in the space of just ten months when taking the Bet With Tote At Fairyhouse Racecourse Handicap. Fri 14th Jun

After race at Cork Fri, 5th Jul, 2024 (1st)

He was waiting a while to win one and he got into the right side of the divide today, but they are always hard to win. He’s so good at the jumping now which is a big help to him. Richie was very good on him and knows him well at this stage. My cousin John, who is a very enthusiastic racing man, is a part owner and loves the game. He’s in a Flat race at Tramore on Tuesday and maybe he’ll run there. We’ll mix it with him and he’s a fun horse.
