After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 18th Jul, 2018 (1st)

It's job done. He's better than a claimer obviously and he's after doing that well,. He won't be a horse for another six months time and that's typical of the sire's progeny. I'd be very surprised if he's not claimed. If half the people that rang us put in claims then there will be plenty in for him. He's done his job, there will be no hard feelings, and I wish him the best of luck to the next person.
