After race at Naas Wed, 15th May, 2013 (1st)

He is a real serious fine big horse. It makes me sad actually as Mick Buckley (deceased) insisted on me breeding the dam to the stallion. He is a proper horse and on a bit better ground he will show more. He'll come on for this and I think he has it all. He is so big I didn't even enter him in the Phoenix Stakes even though he had shown so much earlier this year. I thought he was more of a back end horse but he had been working so well recently. We'll think about the Coventry Stakes for him now. Quick ground is what he wants and he might get it there. Shane (Foley) called it yielding out there today.
