Review kilbeggan 12th May

After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 19th Jul, 2013 (1st)

I'm really delighted for Jimmy as he's is a lovely man who has been with me for years but hasn't always had the best of luck. this horse has promised to win for a while and is a real fast ground type. He will go for a handicap hurdle next and we'll take it from there but he also jumps fences.
