After race at Thurles Wed, 27th Jan, 2016 (1st)

Brian had been saying that he wanted to make plenty use of him but he probably made too much use and never looked back!,. I thought they went no gallop at Limerick and it didn't suit. I'll have to see what the handicapper does now but he'll go chasing next year. That's the first winner for his owner, Sean Quirke, a farmer from Charleville.
