After race at Dundalk Fri, 15th Aug, 2025 (1st)
We've tried him over all sorts of trips. We tried him over a mile and a-half and he travelled well and didn't get home. In all fairness to Shane, he got him out well there today. We put visors and a tongue-tie on him - with that type of horse, you have to keep trying different things. Thanks be to God it has worked today. Fair play to Breen (White, owner), he's a good supporter of mine. It is great to get a win for him. We will tip away with these type of races and he probably will get a stint up here in the winter series. You wouldn't know where he could end up, he could end up in claimers before the year is out but, if he is, he is. He has done his job.
