After race at Curragh Sun, 26th Jul, 2020 (1st)

That was brilliant. It was very unfortunate last week the way the Scurry panned out, unfortunately the high draw for him was a very bad draw as he was left upsides in front and ran with the choke out,. He's learning about sprinting, and we were adamant about dropping him back to five. I told Donagh going out 'you're on the best horse, give him an amount of time and see if he can quicken from the two pole to line. If he wins doing that then we are right in what we thought'. He did that and was half speeding. Donagh was very confident on him. I'm looking forward to him next year. I think I might work back from the Wokingham him.

That was a lovely performance. He’s in the Scurry next week but I felt he lacked a bit of match practice sprinting.

I was itching to get back and it is great to get the win and I'm looking forward to the new season. credit to David Spratt from Gaelic Bloodstock and Phil Byrnes, they bought this horse and told me to be very patient with him. He looked to be a very nice young horse but just fell away with Mr Gosden. They snapped him up relatively cheap (11,000gns last May). It took him a while to learn how to get back racing and doing things right. We tried a hood on him the last day and it seemed to work as well as the tongue-tie. He needed a ride like that to get his confidence back and Donagh was absolutely excellent on him. Hopefully now we can plan a program with him and hopefully there is plenty of winning left in him. He could be an improving horse.
