About

Our Uncle Jack is a 10yo colt trained by M P Fitzgerald of Cork. He is by the stallion Shirocco out of the mare Millerina. So far he has won three races. On 4 February 2026 at Fairyhouse, he secured his biggest victory to date, earning the $12,501.00 HC prize. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 80% return on investment.
