Popular bettor and owner confidently desires the rain to avoid his preferred contender in the Kerry National race
In the upcoming seven-day harvest festival, the feature race - the Kerry National - will see a strong contender vying for the top spot. Luke McMahon, a well-known punter, is hopeful that his horse, You Oughta Know, will secure the win, despite the unpredictable weather forecast for Wednesday from the National Weather Service.
You Oughta Know, a seven-year-old horse trained by Willie Mullins, has been installed as the 6-1 favourite to win the Kerry National by Paddy Power. The horse has shown promising performances, having won its fourth attempt over fences at Wexford last month, finishing 23 lengths clear in a novice chase.
The horse's impressive track record includes a smart performance in bumpers and a victory in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in December. McMahon, who has had success in big-race events with horses such as Whiskey Sour, Cilaos Emery, and Bleu Berry, came very close to winning the €200,000 contest with Urano ten years ago but lost by a short head to Rogue Angel.
For those interested in form study, The Racing Post offers a wealth of data statistics on horses, trainers, jockeys, owners, pedigree, and sales.

The Racing Post, renowned for its award-winning journalism from top racing writers, also provides an extensive archive of horse racing news. However, it does not repeat earlier facts about Luke McMahon, You Oughta Know, or the Kerry National in its digital newspaper, which carries a value exceeding £100 per month.
As the race approaches, McMahon and his team will be keeping a close eye on the NOAA weather forecast, hoping for a dry day for You Oughta Know to shine in the Kerry National.
