After race at Down Royal Mon, 2nd May, 2022 (1st)  We said we would come up and if the ground wasn't suitable, we were going to bring him back home. I walked the track and I was happy with the ground. He just wants it as quick as you can get it. The race went all against plan because the young lad lost his iron and when he went to go get his Iron back, the horse grabbed the bit. We were absolutely convinced he would never get home from where he took off. He said he travelled the whole way with him and stayed on to the line. He had to go to plan B and be cool and he didn't panic. He jumped one fence there without an iron I think so he did well to get it all together in the end. He comes in and rides out for me. He's an old horse, he's 12 now so it is great. We are totally dependent on a few tracks and the ground for him. If the ground is right, he'll go. We haven't ruled out a trip across the water with him, we might go across to Perth with him for a bit of fun. P G Fahey

After race at Clonmel Fri, 11th Jun, 2021 (1st)  He was working seriously well but disappointed in Tramore last week when we were absolutely disgusted. On Sunday we put a tongue-tie and blinkers on him and he worked like the way he was working going to Tramore. The ground is proper quick and he hasn't got that for a while but it was the blinkers, in my mind, that made the difference - we won't be leaving them off him anyway. He was a cheap horse, has done his job and has the option over fences now as well. Killian Carroll owns him and works with me as a farrier but not in the yard. It's his first horse, we said we'd have a bit of fun and it's great. There's lads that spend an awful lot of money and never get into a winners' enclosure. P G Fahey
