After race at Gowran Park Sat, 18th Jun, 2016 (1st)

Oliver (Brady) always thought a lot of this horse, and felt he was one of the best he ever had - he’s a class act. He came on a lot from Limerick, and that race has been panning out well. He can only improve again as this was his second run in nearly three years and Davy gave him a peach of a ride. I was going to bring him to Hexham tomorrow but decided it was better to stay at home. I'm delighted for Rita (Shah, owner) who has stuck with us. We had an auld thing (bug) in the yard but have finally got rid of it.
