After race at Clonmel Thu, 16th May, 2024 (1st)  He’s been a super little horse, and I just couldn’t run him on real winter ground. I thought today with the rain getting into it that it might catch him out and I don’t think he jumped as confident as he could have done. I’d say they went plenty quick in front, and he ended up further back than you would like. It worked out well and Phidelma gets on well with him and her 7lb claim. I actually bought him for her to ride as a bit of fun in handicaps and then John Leckey came on board to purchase him. His Leopardstown run at Christmas was very good and then we hoped he might sneak into the two-mile handicap at Punchestown but the entries were incredible. It’s our first winner of the season. I know it’s only three weeks but it seems like a long time. Phidelma is a hard grafter and is part of a really good team I have with many senior staff. I’m very fortunate to have them and just try to man the fort. P J Rothwell

After race at Thurles Thu, 30th Nov, 2023 (1st)  I had admired that horse running during the summer and was buying him to go to England for a friend of mine but the sale didn't happen. I persevered and when I ended up buying him, brought him home and asked John Leckey (owner) to get involved with me. P J Rothwell
