After race at Cork Sun, 27th Mar, 2016 (1st)

He is a horse who had loads of potential as a young horse but is quirky and has also given leg trouble. I got him from Chris Higgins who had done two years of trotting on the roads to get him right and lot of the credit goes to him. Maxine gave him a peach of a ride and also does all the work with him. He still has ability and I'll hope to win another hurdle before going chasing - he's electric jumping fences. He's a fun horse for the yard and as long as he's healthy and fit I'll keep running him during the summer. I've 20 in training, mostly point-to-pointers, and recently moved to a new yard in Buttevant.
