After race at Navan Sun, 10th Nov, 2013 (1st)

He was a good horse once upon a time. I think the softer ground might have helped him.

Thomas Cooper

After race at Galway Sun, 24th Oct, 2010 (1st)

He is a nice horse that travels and idles when he hits the front. He had loads in the tank and jumped for fun. He doesn't take a lot of racing so he'll go for the Royal Bond now and then get a break. He stays well too.

Thomas Cooper

After race at Listowel Sun, 12th Sep, 2010 (1st)

The Sheperd King may prove to be a really good horse and I think he's a better horse than my Lucky William (rated 133 over hurdles). I'd prefer to go for a maiden hurdle next but he may try have another run in a bumper before then.
