After race at Clonmel Thu, 13th May, 2021 (1st)

It is nice to finally get that and fair play to the lads (Poetic Ten Syndicate) who have put a lot of time and money into him. They are from around Tullamore and have been very patient,. He works well at home and was running on the flat at Dundalk but I don't think he was letting himself down. He has plenty of gears and I said to Keith to come up with a plan to get him to win and he gave him a great ride. I'm delighted for the Brazils who stand his sire Urban Poet, who produced One Cool Poet, and they also bred this horse.
