After race at Galway Sun, 1st Aug, 2021 (1st)

We're delighted. In fairness to Tom Keane he picked the horse out of a claimer (over hurdles at Limerick in May) and there are a good few people involved so it's brilliant. He's a nice horse and he ran a good race here during the week. He'll tip away in those handicaps, he likes the good ground. We'll mix it over hurdles as well. He was bought for a bit of fun for a crew of people and it's worked out well. There are some lads from America involved in shares as well.
