He’s the nephew of Mick Quinlan, I believe – son of Jo and Noel Quinlan, Noel being the brother.
His win at Cottenham wasn’t entirely surprising, as partner The Railway Man was an Irish Grade 1 winner in his time and Jack has bagged enough pony races around the Cambridgeshire venue in recent times on a useful animal named Gemini. Notwithstanding those advantages, I believe he looked potentially quite useful.
