After race at Cork Sat, 14th Oct, 2017 (1st)  Colin said after he rode him the last day that he is finding time to warm up in those five furlong sprints and is getting caught in trouble early-doors in big fields when other horses has more pace than him,. It was a good shout stepping him up to seven and he got it really well today. We won't ever run him on quick ground and gives us that feel at home that he'd appreciate ease in the ground. I don't think there is another race from him between now and the end of the season but we'll be looking. He definitely won't go to Dundalk and the Lincoln in the spring is in the back of our head. Colin said to stick him to seven but he'll be holding an entry in it and we won't know whether he'd get a mile until he runs. Fair play to Cork as the track isn't in as bad as everyone is expecting and it's in great shape and that's brilliant for Colin too and it's nearly a 'six-pointer' for him. G M Lyons

After race at Navan Sat, 20th May, 2017 (1st)  It was great and we're very happy with him. We expected him to run well on the best of his English form. He's been very straight forward at home. He came in later to us, in February, and got a good old break after coming from England. I was told he had a good freshen up and to take him and play with him and see what he was. This race presented itself and he was ready to go. I would say five or six with him and ground's not a problem to him. He just seems to be very straight forward. We're after winning first start and are just hoping to build on that. It's great for the Gaelic Thoroughbreds club. It's there first winner and I hope it's the first of many. They have three older horses, two of which have run and hopefully we'll win with them. Then we have three two-year-olds. It's the first venture for the group of lads and it was set up by David Spratt. It's fantastic. Our yard is not known for syndicates but it's a nice way in. Instead of having one horse they've six horses and they will have action all year around. That's the whole idea of it. David is good at buying these horses in training and I'm good at the two-year-old's so between us we should give them plenty of fun. G M Lyons
