After race at Limerick Thu, 26th Jul, 2012 (1st)

I only took over the licence from my father Sean at Christmas time and that is my first winner in Ireland. We had a winner a in Southwell recently (Father Shine, July 15th). This fellow will probably go for a novice hurdle next and then have a break. He is immature and you probably won't see the best of him until he goes over fences.
