We had two viruses in a row but are out of the trenches and ready to fight again! Thankfully the horses seem to be healthy again, and hopefully we can build on this. This has been a great horse for us winning a Jewson at Cheltenham and a Galway Plate.

that's a great result .I had previously won the 1990 Galway Hurdle (Athy Spirit) but this is my first time winning the Plate. Finger Onthe Pulse was originally owned by financier Conor Clarkson and won the Jewson Chase at Cheltenham for us. However the horse lost his way and when circumstances changed and Conor needed to sell him (Finger Onthe Pulse was entered but subsequently withdrawn from Doncaster's Horses In Training Sale in May 2009), I was so so fortunate that J.P. McManus was big enough and bold enough to buy him and leave him in my yard. I also must praise the brilliant winning ride from Tony but must sympathise with Mark Walsh for missing the winning ride. However, Mark understands that Tony McCoy is retained by J.P. McManus.
