After race at Punchestown Sat, 15th Nov, 2014 (1st)

he (Plinth) was stopping coming up the run-in and might have been a fortunate winner as I thought the mare (Mireya) could have beaten me. I got a run on her into the straight but I could feel her coming to me on the run to the last. Fortunately for me she fell, although I don't like seeing any horse fall. We didn't go too quick and I was probably in front too soon but I wanted to use his pace. Johnny (Burker, rider of Goonyella) was coming back at me but my lad wasn't doing much in front on his own.He wouldn't go on winter ground and that might be it to the spring now.
