David Casey teamed up with Embracing Change to justify favouritism at Clonmel last Thursday, and the combination repeated the trick seven days later again over three miles in the Thurles Handicap Chase. Thu 06th Nov
We always felt he would be a better horse on a bit better ground. He was a bit disappointing in Leopardstown when he missed a couple of fences early on and lost interest. Barry gave him a great ride. He didn't rush him and got him into a nice rhythm. He jumps fences with more confidence on better ground. He'll probably go to Punchestown if there is a race there for him. He has a lot of improving to do. I think he's getting stronger - he was very weak and is a very big horse.
Oliver McKiernan
He was a very big weak horse last year. I was hoping he'd strengthen up a good bit over the summer and he did but I thought he might get even stronger,. Hopefully he'll improve again and he'll get three miles onwards. We're hoping someday he fits into some of the big handicaps. Barry gave him a grand ride considering it was the first time he rode him. He can take a bit of a tow early on but he doesn't do anything too bad. He carries his head low and is a real chasing type. I like that in a horse.
Oliver McKiernan
