After race at Clonmel Thu, 13th Feb, 2025 (1st)  After ten years training, that's my first chase winner. I've haven't had many runners and had placed horses but I generally get a cheaper type of horse so tend to run in bumpers and over hurdles. He blew up twice the last day he ran in Fairyhouse and we knew we had him proper right for today. It took a long time to get him back to winning ways . It is brilliant for Aidan O'Brien, who is the head of the syndicate and is principal of the school (Good Counsel College) where Sean Flanagan and many other racing people attended. They have stuck by me so I'm delighted for them. Anthony McCann

After race at Cork Sun, 9th Apr, 2023 (1st)  the owners are the Good Counsel School in New Ross and Sean (Flanagan) went to school there. It is great to get a winner for them and the connection comes from another former pupil Jonathan Moore (jockey) who advises me. we always thought a wee bit of him and we thought maybe Mighty Mo Missouri might have got a hard race at Cheltenham and we were glad to take him on on the day. I think he'll handle any ground but I think he'll be better on better ground. Hopefully he can improve now and tip on. He had a high rating on the flat coming from Mark Johnson but I bought him (for 6,500gns) on the first day of a sale and picked up two or three nice horses that day. Anthony McCann
