After race at Thurles Mon, 6th Jan, 2014 (1st)

He had nine runs in bumpers and was only out of the first three twice, and he was beaten by a head here in one of those races. I'd say their wasn't many praying for rain last night but I was as he loves this ground. We will try and find a winners of one for him now. John Byrne is his owner and it is a pity they don't make more owners like him.
