After race at Downpatrick Wed, 21st Dec, 2011 (1st)

that's the way he has to be ridden! He has loads of ability but he has to hit the front as late as possible. Barry (O'Neill) still had a pile of horse under him at the second last. He has been in such good form lately that my biggest worry was that he would unseat Barry on the way to the start! We'll mix it between Open point to points and hunter chases now and maybe look for a winners' hunters chase at a good staying track. It might have been a bit sharp for him here but the testing ground and the uphill finish worked in his favour.
