After race at Dundalk Fri, 3rd Jan, 2014 (1st)

it's nice to get a winner on the first meeting of the year. He is what he is he but is also a very popular horse in the yard as he's a great ride. He does two jobs: he's a lead horse during the week and runs on Friday and that'll help to keep the owner (wife Aileen) happy!
