WEST Coast Time. You will likely have no knowledge of this horse who makes his racecourse debut in the bumper at Cork later today. He is a five-year-old son of Westerner and his dam was the top-class racemare Refinement.

What is significant is that the gelding races in the colours of Michael Tabor, as did his dam. She too was bred by the owner and was a stalwart of the Jonjo O’Neill yard, winning four bumpers and nine hurdle races. Furthermore she was a Grade 1 winner in both of those codes, at a time when there were few opportunities in mare only races.
