After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 11th Oct, 2014 (1st)

every time he's ever run we fancied him, even the day he was beaten by Shaneshill. He has always shown us loads of toe but has just disappointed. He's started the season well though and hopefully he stays right. He's a nice horse and will hopefully carry on from there. Originally we thought he wanted it very soft but he seemed to quicken up well there.
