AFTER winning twice inside a week, Perry Mason will try to make it three-in-a-row at the Curragh tomorrow. I might be going to the well again too soon but he loves testing ground and it’s the last chance we have on the grass this year. He seems to be in good form at home and it’s really just a case of trying to make hay while the sun shines.

My dad always had the odd point-to-pointer and a few racehorses in training. He would have been into the greyhounds as well. I have been going racing for as long as I can remember. I started pony racing while still in primary school and later rode out for Eugene O’Sullivan amongst others. At 15, I left school and went up to RACE in Kildare.
