After race at Cork Mon, 9th Apr, 2012 (1st)

My son James owns him. We have waited a while for it but he has been a good honest horse and a great servant. He has been unlucky on one or two occasions but we knew the day would come it was only when. Aine gave him a brilliant ride, she rides him out every day and he goes very well for her.
