After race at Cork Sun, 8th Apr, 2012 (1st)

The ground made all difference. He always showed us plenty at home and his only bad run was the last day. The ground brought about the improvement today and he will go hurdling now and be kept on the go over the summer. His owner John Fallon owned Rule Supreme as well and while this fellow won't be as good as him he should still have plenty of fun with him.
