Rassi Maguire lands gamble for Martin

Fri 20th Mar 2009, 20:27

Trainer Pat Martin and jockey Fran Berry combined to win the Marshes Shopping Dundalk Handicap at Dundalk tonight with well-backed Rassi Maguire (2/1f from 3/1).

The son of Intikhab was held up towards the rear before making progress to eventually get his head in front a furlong out, for a length win over unlucky-in-running Ain Jalout

Afterwards Martin reported "Rassi Maguire wintered well and has a great attitude. He love that surface and hopefully the handicapper wont be too harsh on him. One mile is probably his best trip but he could make a nice dual purpose horse."

My Racing Story. Emma Connolly

I'm from Killyon, Co Meath and always had a fascination for ponies. My mam and dad eventually gave in and I got riding lessons and then I got my own pony. Then when I was about 12 or 13, I was fortunate enough to start working for Frederick John Bowles and all I wanted was racehorses after that. I was mucking out and riding out there and doing general stable duties. That was during weekends and school holidays. I got the bug massively. I wanted to be a jockey but wasn't good enough. I had a few rides in places like Limerick and Roscommon as an amateur in bumpers. My bottle probably wasn't good enough either.
