Emergency Man has run twice without breaking his duck, finishing third in his most recent outing just a day ago and second the time before that. The 4-year-old, trained by
Paul Nolan at his Enniscorthy yard in Wexford, has yet to win but has shown enough promise to suggest a breakthrough could come soon — both runs have resulted in placings rather than distant finishes. Nolan's yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 25 winners, which speaks to the quality of horsemanship on the gallops, even if Emergency Man hasn't yet benefited from that success in the winner's enclosure himself.
