After race at Dundalk Wed, 26th Oct, 2016 (1st) 
I'm delighted for young Robert. He's been with us for a while now and things are starting to happen for him,. He's riding well and gave him a lovely ride as he's not the easiest. The race needs to unfold for him and he kept a lovely cool head. The horse deserves it, he had some decent form. He holds an entry in the horses-in-training sales next week and we'll see where we go now. I have to thank the owner for letting Robert stay on him. He gave him a good ride the last night and it was good to be able to take the 7lb off.

It’s never a nice way to win but he was taken off track a bit. He ran well at Fairyhouse the last day and a straight six furlongs suits him. He needs a bit of time between his races, and could run at the Curragh later this month.

He had a little hold up with a shoulder but he's got stronger as the year has gone on,. He probably won't run again this year. I wanted to get a bracket with him, and get him a bit of confidence.
