After race at Downpatrick Fri, 16th Oct, 2015 (1st)
He has won in Sligo, Navan, Galway and Downpatrick. He loves an uphill finish but when we try him beyond two and a half or two miles five it doesn't seem to work.

It's a great double for Danny with his mother and father, and with all that's gone on it will give him a nice confidence booster. The Shoot A Hoop Syndicate (owners) are three Burke brothers from Athlone,.

I thought it was a weakish race and I fancied Battling Boru well. He may go for another handicap and then go chasing . it depends on how hard the handicapper hits him. It took me a while to get to know him but he is a fair sort of horse.

Maybe the ground was wrong for him at Gowran the last day. I was devastated . the syndicate had their annual meeting that night and it was a very subdued affair. I can't explain what happened then as he'd been working well. He done today what I thought he'd do at Gowran.

He is a good horse but he is very excitable and still has a lot of improving to do. He was quite a late foal if I remember correctly and he is a horse with a future I think. He is from the family of Galmoy by a Sadler's Wells horse so he should stay well. He'll have a break now.
