He is fair genuine. The team need horses like him. He won four last year when we needed winners. He was sold as a two-year-old to go to Hong Kong but he failed the vet.

After race at
Curragh Tue, 15th Oct, 2013 (1st)
he timed it to perfection! He has some heart and we're chuffed as he's a real stable star!. Six or seven (furlongs) on good ground is what he wants and he normally runs well around a bend; his heart got him up today though. As long as the ground stays good he'll keep going but he has never really acted at Dundalk and the few bad runs he had, were there. He's with us for life though so he'll get another try (at Dundalk) at some stage; he's a real stable pet!

Naas Mon, 5th Aug, 2013 (1st)
He's one of my favourites in the yard, and a lovely honest horse. He likes this track having won here before, and we'll find another rated race for him. He owes us nothing in 2013.

He's a good honest horse and six furlongs is his trip. He's a top of the ground horse and races are few and far between for him. He shows plenty of pace from the stalls.

Naas Wed, 16th May, 2012 (1st)
He is a lovely little horse and that was his third win. He is very genuine. He has been leading the 2yo's at home and he does everything we ask of him. That type of trip over six or seven furlongs suits him. He is a genuine horse and that was a good, tough performance.
G M Lyons
After race at
Gowran Park Wed, 10th Aug, 2011 (1st)
He's a game horse and gave his all. Being a Moss Vale we were worried about the ground but he's a lovely moving horse. We'll see what the handicapper does with him now but he could be Hong Kong bound as he ticks all the boxes and we have seen some interest from clients over there in him. Seven furlongs suits him well.
