T G McCourt

After race at Dundalk Fri, 13th Oct, 2017 (1st)

He's a great fun horse and was always doing enough. He's a funny character and holds his head very high. Colin suits him, and if he went for the stick he may not do a whole lot. Hopefully we'll get another day out of him. Sean (Foran, owner) has been a great supporter and has been with me about 25 years.

T G McCourt

After race at Dundalk Fri, 29th Sep, 2017 (1st)

It's not a surprise and I thought both of them had a chance. Ben Rumson is very well treated compared to grass, and we'll tip away with the two of them here over the winter. He needs top of the ground over hurdles,.

T G McCourt

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 5th Jul, 2017 (1st)

he’d a wide draw so we had to drop in behind but they went a nice gallop which made all the difference. When he won here the last day we said we’d come back.

T G McCourt

After race at Fairyhouse Fri, 16th Jun, 2017 (1st)

He was a bit unlucky over hurdles the last day when he got shuffled back a bit and then made up his ground quick. He ran a nice race in Dundalk before that. He's had a few wind problems in the past, and he'll mix it between hurdles and the flat over the summer.
