After race at Cork Thu, 24th Mar, 2022 (1st)

I only have him seven weeks and we were disappointed he didn't get into the County Hurdle and missed out by two but his actual trip to Cheltenham was a bit of a holiday for him. Maybe in hindsight it worked out for the best. We were very very happy with him and couldn't believe it was such a small field, although we were a bit concerned about the ground. However he won his maiden hurdle for Charles (Byrnes) on good ground so we were confident enough and I couldn't believe the price he was. He was bought to go chasing later in the year and for a Holy Roman Emperor he is a hell of a jumper and he stays.

After race at Galway Mon, 26th Oct, 2020 (1st)

He’s (Sam Ewing) a lovely rider and the horse has been consistent.

C Byrnes

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

He's a lovely horse. It probably wasn't the best maiden hurdle. He had a nice run in Wexford and was probably a bit unlucky that day. He had a nice enough comeback run and the form of the race in Killarney had been working out. As regards a maiden hurdle for Navan, it probably wasn't the hottest but he's a nice horse. He'll probably go handicapping now and he'll definitely get further as he got two miles on the Flat.
