After race at Punchestown Sat, 11th Jan, 2014 (1st)

he's (City Slicker) a very difficult to ride and myself and Paul (Townend) were going to make the running with him. However just as I was about to leg Paul up, Frank (Berry, McManus' racing manager) suggested we should hold him up as there were only seven runners. I didn't think Paul would be able to hold him but he got him anchored in behind one or two and it worked and it has now opened up a whole new vista for the horse because he can now go out in trip. It looked today like he might settle in another one or two more runs and that will make a huge difference to him because, previous to today, he has been way too free but now we might be able to get the ability he has out of him. I think he'll be a lovely horse over fences next year and he should settle better over fences.

After race at Punchestown Sun, 17th Nov, 2013 (1st)

He's a tough horse to train and to ride. I left it up to Ruby what to do. If he settled, well and good, but he decided to go on with him,. He looks like he'll jump a fence in time. He's a very slick jumper and there are more days in him. If he doesn't like it heavy we'll put him away until the spring but at the minute we'll go on to Christmas. The race at Ascot (Ladbroke Hurdle) is the one that comes to mind. He's not a horse that will run very often because of his temperament. He seems to favour right-handed tracks.

W P Mullins

After race at Punchestown Sat, 11th May, 2013 (1st)

He's probably better going right-handed and he takes a good hold. They seemed to go some clip there.

W P Mullins

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 15th Dec, 2012 (1st)

He disappointed at Naas but he just wasn't ready for it and the run put him right. He looked to have a nice turn of foot there and he will go for a winners bumper now. That is my first winner for John Magnier.
