After race at Galway Fri, 31st Jul, 2009 (1st)

This was the plan for him since last year. We struggled to get him back to his best but the owner has been very patient and has given him plenty of time,. The rain that fell last night certainly helped our chances but I didn't think he'd win when they were in the dip. Andrew gave him a great ride and he gets a great tune out of the horse.
