The Whiskey Man finished a very promising third when beaten just one-and-three-quarter lengths in the second division of the four-year-old maiden at Tralee. Handled by Matthew Flynn O'Connor, the son of Ask jumped his way up to second place at the back of the second last and looked likely to fill the runner-up berth before being nabbed in the dying strides of this contest. This €28,000 store is certainly appears to be improving in the right direction on what was his third career start. Out a half-sister to four-time winner Bale O'Shea, this bay gelding showed plenty of promise here and could be an interesting sort moving forward.
