After race at Roscommon Mon, 30th Aug, 2021 (1st)

Ger is so dedicated. He just loves animals and that shines through with certain horses especially this lad. He just gets into their heads and fills them with loads of confidence. In our yard they are happy horses. Happy staff make happy horses and visa versa. He doesn’t copy what other trainers do - he thinks outside the box. Sometimes you think this lad is losing it but all of a sudden you realise none of us would have thought of that with certain genius things that he does. It’s been a great ride and it will be a long ride for the next 1,000 but hopefully we are still there for it!. We’re delighted to get it in Roscommon as well as it’s a very lucky track for us. Michael Finneran and his crew are very good to us and have great facilities which they are always upgrading. It’s a front-runner’s track but Colin was very good on him. He nick’s lengths on bends and is riding with so much confidence. The horse was threatening to do that for a long time and it’s great for Sean Jones and David Spratt to be part of this historic winner.
