THE Tom Lacey-trained Stowaway gelding Johnbb, who narrowly justified favouritism in the opening maiden hurdle at Ayr on Wednesday, is a half-brother to a prolific winner in Northern Ireland.

However, this horse is not listed in point-to-point or racing records. The 2009 Irish Sport Horse gelding Carnsdale Irish Times is by the Irish Draught stallion Murphys Irish Diamond and his victories have come in the show ring.
