After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 9th Jul, 2021 (1st)

I’m delighted for Jody who has been riding out of his skin and gave him a great ride,. He’s had a little problem and needed time off, but we have been aiming at this race for a while. Hopefully he comes out of this race well and I’m sure the Plate will be in the plans again.

Mrs Denise Foster

After race at Navan Sat, 28th Sep, 2019 (1st)

He was a disappointing horse but he's starting to go the right way now. Hopefully he's on a winning curve and he might keep going. He didn't mind the ground, he seemed to like it okay. It's good ground but the boys say it's safe.
