After race at Listowel Tue, 18th Sep, 2012 (1st)

He's a horse that just loves racing. No matter what we do with him at home he just thrives on racing. He was healthy and well. Since I got him as a four-year-old he has never given us any problems. He has never been sick a day in his life. He's a very healthy horse and hopefully he'll be back here on Saturday over seven furlongs.

She ran a great race and got knocked about a bit and could have been second.

I was relieved to hear the verdict called in my favour. He deserves a rest after this.

After race at Galway Thu, 30th Jul, 2009 (1st)

This horse owes us nothing. I was in two minds as to whether to run him or not today as he was disappointing at the Curragh the last day., . He loves it around here and he always runs a good race. This is his third win around here. Danny gave him a great ride and it'll keep him going for another while. He was disappointing over hurdles so we'll probably just stick to flat with him.
