I took the shoes off him on Monday and took him out of training as I didn't think he would get his winter ground. He couldn't lay up on the yielding ground at Killarney. He's going out to a field tomorrow. It's nice to get a winner and they all count. You need a bit of luck.

Popaflora deserved to turn around the form with the favourite (Take A Shot) as he missed the third last badly when they met at Down Royal over Christmas. I put blinkers on for the first time today but is was still hard work and he hung on. I'm delighted to win with him but he's no superstar and it was an ordinary handicap. Hopefully he's not too heavily penalised for that and he'll stay running in those low grade handicap chases.
