After race at Punchestown Thu, 25th Apr, 2013 (1st)

That's a win for all hunting men . myself and Barry are both hunting men. I'm based locally near Mondello . where they race the cars - so the horse would be well used to the noise. Cheltenham was pretty good but this is special as it's my home track. My girlfriend Caroline (Woods) spotted him in the sales. We bought him for Hugh Duffy who owns the greyhound stadium. He showed a bit of form in his younger days but then he had problems. He's just got better as he's got older . a bit of age you know . he's just a brilliant horse. He's won for me at Cheltenham and Punchestown now . we have enough of these races without travelling further afield. John Thomas (McNamara) started this horse off for me. He rode him in his first two point-to-points. That win is dedicated to John Thomas because it was him really that got that horse going for me.
