P2P.ie comment: Since making his debut in one of the first four-year-old maiden of spring 2016 at Oldtown when chasing home the Gigginstown House Stud-owned Caliption, Jack Devine has proved himself to be a very competitive sort who now heads to the sales with a huge amount of experience under his belt. Placed in two further four-year-old maiden’s at Castletown and Boulta, races which have produced multiple subsequent winners, he deservedly got off the mark on his eighth start when returning to Oldtown, the venue of his debut 12 months earlier, to show is toughness when prevailing in a bunched finish. Six subsequent point winners have emerged from that race with Jack Devine adding two further victories to his tally when getting his head in front at both Horse and Jockey and Ballindenisk in winners’ company. Proven in all ground conditions, but appearing to be particularly effective on a sounder surface, he is sure to make his mark on the track.
