After race at Ballinrobe Tue, 20th Sep, 2016 (1st)

The plan worked and Rachael gave him a dinger of a ride. I knew he would go on soft ground but I was a bit worried when heavy was in the description,. He probably doesn't have the pace for two miles on good ground at his age. He has five won now so we are happy enough with him. He should have won his last two but you couldn't blame Stephen (Gray) either. Things just didn't work out, he jumped off to make it the last day at Kilbeggan but met every bit of traffic. He couldn't get out coming to the second last that day. He might go to Sligo for a chase if it's not too heavy. It doesn't look like it's going to dry out. I just wouldn't like real winter ground with him. I'd stay over hurdles with him but there is nothing really for him. He doesn't run left-handed so that rules out a lot. My dad (Eddie) died five weeks ago so it's nice to get this.

I've always wanted to run him over fences but lads were telling me to leave him hurdling as he was doing so well. He always was a good jumper at home and, while I was going to send him to the Doncaster Horses In Training Sale, I might change my mind now!. He likes to get his toe in and will go on a bit softer. He might go to Roscommon for a two mile graded chase next.

It's a pity Tony Kelly has gone back to England as he did a great job on him and deserves a mention. Andrew did a good job on him as he's tricky. He's an honest old horse. Some lads would say he's a rogue, but he stresses himself out so much as he tries so hard.
