    Does Murphy give us a clue? Did he ride a white horse? Did his feet touch the ground?

    ‘Means "little deer", derived from Irish

    os

    "deer" combined with a diminutive suffix. In Irish legend Oisín was a warrior hero and a poet, the son of Fionn mac Cumhail.’

    I thought Oisin was Irish for "an effing good jockey"

    I’ve been impressed with him since I first saw him.

    I think he has the potential to be a future champion

    I have actually been tweeting and writing about him for the last three months saying how good he is :D

    Joking aside I first saw him at Warwick a few months ago and was impressed with him and have been following him closely ever since. It was a good treble today and it’s good he won a big televised race to bring him to the attention of a wider audience.

    Another good youngster to watch is Jason Hart.

    Was impressed with him and have followed him since he won a no whips to be used apprentice handicap at Salisbury.

    Kinda gutted everyone knows about him now, but such is life. :mrgreen:

    I am assuming that Joseph translates as "The tall pie-eater" then ;)

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
