After race at Listowel Wed, 13th Sep, 2017 (1st)

the less you have to beat the better but he is a nice horse and he jumped reasonably well. He’s learning as he goes along and he’s a bit of a relentless galloper. He won well and on his Ballinrobe run he was entitled to beat the two of them; it looks he’s a winter horse now as he went on that ground I don’t know where he’ll go next but he will improve jump-wise.
