CONGRATULATIONS to Tamso and David Cox on the birth of their son, Tiger Paul Jack Doyle Cox, born on April 3rd.

Tiger has settled into life in Baroda Stud with his big sisters India (12) and Isla (8). We hear grandfather Dermot Cox is a regular visitor to see the little man and that the new arrival has also accompanied David to inspect the newborn foals.

Tamso reports: “I don’t think he’ll make his debut at Punchestown next week as he is very focussed on eating and sleeping at the moment but is looking forward to a summer’s day at the Curragh or Naas races in a few weeks’ time.”

Delivered in Coombe Hospital, Tiger arrived a little early but had a few people ‘up above’ looking out for him, including his late grandparents Sue and Paul Doyle and Ann Cox, plus Tamso’s godmother, the late Chich Fowler, with whom Tiger shares his birthday.
