After race at Naas Sat, 19th Jan, 2013 (1st)

I don't know whether we got it right or the horse is coming to himself. We decided to ride him more positively and it seemed to work. He's been a bit exasperating. He keeps promising but today is the first time he's delivered. At least today he showed on the track what he does at home. We took a chance running him here rather that the Boylesports Hurdle. I didn't think he'd get in but he'll get in now.
