After race at Galway Thu, 3rd Aug, 2017 (1st)

Barry gave him a great ride. The horse was probably flat out the whole way because he was probably a bit further back than ideal,. I'm delighted as the preparation went perfect but I didn't think he'd get there at the last. There's no stronger man in the saddle than Barry though.
