After race at Gowran Park Mon, 14th Jun, 2021 (1st)

He's great and I wish I had a few more, he's the only one I have at the minute, . He worked on Wednesday, Ricky Doyle rode him over seven furlongs and he said 'he'll nearly win for you on Monday'. I said 'that'll do'. I was going to ride him myself but I said I'd get Ricky's opinion as he won on him over hurdles. That was to be his last Flat race as he was going jumping, he's a super leaper and he's crying out for a distance — two or two-and-a-half miles. That might change a bit now! It depends on what the handicapper does now, that's the problem as he only dropped him 4lb in four years. He's only a pony. I ride him out every day myself except on the weekends when my daughter Wendy rides him. I do everything, put the shoes on him, bring him everywhere but sure what else would I be doing at my age?. I turned 80 the other day, that's all. I'm a young 80.

After race at Leopardstown Fri, 31st Jul, 2020 (1st)

We were trying for a while with him. He's a game little horse and weight was killing him all along,. I just gave him a run here to see if a mile-and-a-half would suit him. I was running him over a mile and they were going a bit quick for him. On his last run he was fourth over hurdles in Kilbeggan with 11-7 and it was a great run. He was only a reserve this morning and only for Carmel he wouldn't have been here. She rang around different trainers to see if they were running and it was only at the last minute he got in. It worked out perfect. He'll probably go back over hurdles now, he's a brilliant leaper.

After race at Thurles Thu, 29th Nov, 2018 (1st)

He ran a fortnight ago at Dundalk and I thought he'd come home alone but he ran stinking! The run mesmerised me but I had another horse at home who wasn't well and I presumed he wasn't just right so I schooled him and Ricky said he was a natural hurdler. I picked out this race and said you'll be fourth or fifth with a bit of luck. I ride him out all the time at home and he is a villain to ride. I'm 77 and ride two every day and he's not an easy ride at all.
