After race at
Cork Mon, 6th Aug, 2012 (1st) 
That was a very average contest for that standard. If this bad weather continues we will have to give him a break. He is a summer horse and Mikey (winning rider) said he didn't handle the ground.
Michael Butler
After race at
Dundalk Sun, 4th Sep, 2011 (1st)
The summer is near over and he's a summer horse. He might get another run in September, maybe back here. He handles the track here. That's a double today with Kilkenny's win (In the All-Ireland Hurling Final)!
Michael Butler
After race at
Wexford Fri, 19th Aug, 2011 (1st)
He's a summer horse and his season is nearly over now. Things went in his favour today. He might go to Killarney next week but I'm not sure. He's a fast ground horse. His owner, Fred Salter, owns Ballon Meats in Co Carlow.
Michael Butler
After race at
Wexford Fri, 24th Jul, 2009 (1st)
That was a little bit too close for comfort, he's after winning his last two races by short heads. We've no plans for him yet, we'll see how he comes out of the race and then decide where to go next.
