After race at Kilbeggan Mon, 19th Jun, 2023 (1st)  You can't beat a bit of luck!. I didn't know what was going to happen today with that fella as he would have a mind of his own. I was just delighted to see him travelling and the better ground would be a big thing for him. I shouldn't have run him at Easter (pulled up at Fairyhouse), that was a poor decision on my behalf. We have him back going well and this was a lovely pot. In fairness to Kilbeggan they put on good prize-money and it's brilliant to be able to get a result here. We'll keep tipping away with him.

After race at Cork Sun, 18th Oct, 2020 (1st)  He is a nice horse and has just taken time to come to himself. He has learned how to race now but doesn't do much unless he is asked and Philip (Enright, on Friary Rock) rode a lovely race there from the front and it didn't suit our lad but I think we had the better of him at the last. You could see coming up to the line he wasn't doing a whole lot in front either. He has a big engine and is exciting and likes good ground so I might put him away. He could be a Pertemps (Final) type horse in time and there's also the three mile handicap at Fairyhouse in Easter too. Not too many win three in a row. Simon (Torrens) is riding unbelievably and is worth his 5lbs claim all day long so I'm using him a good bit. John C McConnell
