SOME placement! Having saddled his first racecourse winner at Catterick just three days previously, Downpatrick’s Richard Curran sent out the same horse, The Jam Man, to score under the same rider, Maxine O’Sullivan, at Ayr on Saturday and then again at Sedgefield on Tuesday.

The five-year-old Papal Bull gelding was bred by Leo Reilly and is the seventh of 10 foals out of the Spingspiel mare Kathy Jet who won once on the flat in Italy. Prior to The Jam Man, she had bred three winners, including her first foal, He’s Got Rhythm (by Invincible Spirit), who scored eight times on the flat.
