After race at Tipperary Fri, 8th Aug, 2014 (1st)

He is a quirky horse. He is good on his day but only on his day. When he is in the mindsight and is right he is good. Philip gave him a peach of a ride, the horse is difficult in every way. He has to be lead to the start before every race and mentally he can't handle the parade the ring. When he is wound up he can explode but Philip showed good horsemanship.
