After race at Thurles Sat, 24th Mar, 2018 (1st)

We are a long time trying to get him to win a race but he has now won his bumper, maiden hurdle and a chase,. There's no big plan with him and he'll run wherever we can find a race for him and he could also be going to Doncaster Sales.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Down Royal Mon, 1st May, 2017 (1st)

we said we’d have a kick at the back of the second last (fence) and have one go and thankfully it worked. There wasn't much between the two horses, only a jump, and we are off the mark thank God! He’ll probably go chasing through the summer.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Downpatrick Fri, 14th Oct, 2016 (1st)

He's a big chaser in the making. Whatever he does this year will be a bonus. We'll probably find a little winners' race somewhere for him and he'll be okay. I'd say chasing will be his game and he's a big honest horse.
