After race at Punchestown Wed, 28th Oct, 2009 (1st)

He ran a race before the start even!. I always thought a lot of him but he was off for two years with a leg problem. He won a point-to-point first time and two nice hurdles. He dictated from the start although that wasn't the plan. I was just afraid he might not see it out through lack of fitness. Hopefully he'll improve and he's a decent horse. I'm happy to stay around that trip with him. On soft ground I don't think he'll get much further.
