Apprentice jockey Ger O'Neill is a seven pound claim for Declan Carroll
Ger Charles O'Neill loves horse due to his dad, from speaking to Ger you can get an understanding of how important his dad has been in his career. His dad got him his first job riding out at Jim Bolger then he moved to Johnny Murtagh, this lasted six months before his boss decided to ring up John Quinn and send Ger to England.
The usual conversationalist when asked about his first winner on Pull the Plug for boss Declan Carroll was speechless, the feeling was indescribable and amazing, he had the greatest struggle putting it into words. He has lots of goals and knows where he wants his future to go and is surely someone to keep your eye on. His next ride is on Save The Bees at Beverley, a horse which he has won on twice before.
Ger is adamant that being a jockey is the only thing he could do and would never want to be anything else however if being a jockey doesn't quite work out, you may well find him either in aisle number two or at the checkout at Lidl.
This is blog's about racing meeting's I go to and any horses or jockey performances that catch my eye.
