After race at Thurles Thu, 25th Nov, 2021 (1st)

He was grand but was a bit novicey and landed over the last three big enough. He is probably a better than the short-head he won and he is probably a horse more for the spring and summer than winter heavy. He was green but he is a baby and we might give him a break now for a few months. He is a little revved up at home but when he gets going is fine. It was a nice performance and he couldn't do any more than win and I think he will improve plenty from it.
