After race at Ballinrobe Fri, 14th Apr, 2023 (1st)

Bal De Rio ran on Monday and I entered him for this that morning as there was a small entry. The ground was right, he had a light weight with Dan's 5lb off him and he came out of his run at Cork fine. He's a ten-year-old so whoever backed him was brave, but he did it nicely after a mistake at the last. The horses are running well and the lad at Dundalk (Autocrat) is a very nice horse and is capable of winning a good handicap somewhere. He has already schooled over hurdles but is still a colt and there's been a bit of interest in him, so he could be sold.
