A VERY busy Brian Morrison finally had time on Tuesday evening to talk about next Wednesday’s Horseware Event Riders Challenge Race at Dundalk Stadium and had one startling statement to make. “I have to lose a stone between now and then!

“Although I know very little about racing I’m sorry I never tried it or point-to-pointing when I was younger and it would be a shame to let this opportunity go by. I never dieted in my life before and can’t say I like living on lettuce but it’s no harm if I get leaner and fitter.
