After race at Thurles Thu, 10th Feb, 2022 (1st)

The type of track suited him better than at Down Royal (sixth there last time) and he previously had some trouble in-running at Clonmel. He couldn't ever just get over the line but that will get his confidence up now and hopefully he might win another one. He's probably better over two miles than 2m4f and it is hard to find races for this type of horse. My son Michael rides him sometimes and we have four in training. It took three and a half hours to drive down but it wasn't too bad and at least the sun was shining!
