After race at Dundalk Fri, 21st Oct, 2016 (1st)

I was going to let him out three weeks ago!. This suited him and he was still in good form so we said why not. We’ll have a look and see what’s coming up now. It’s great to finish up the season with a couple of wins as we were struggling for ground on and off. It has worked out well.

After race at Curragh Sun, 28th Aug, 2016 (1st)

I don’t know what happened at Roscommon the last day. Seamie (Heffernan) said that he just didn’t feel right. Everything was nearly identical to last year in terms of weights, and Sean gave him a lovely ride. He did exactly as he was told. He’ll continue to mix it between the flat and hurdles.

Thomas Gibney

After race at Curragh Sun, 30th Aug, 2015 (1st)

I was a bit worried about the ground but we took our chance and ran as he was in great form. It worked out great,. That's my first winner at the Curragh. I've been trying for a while and have had a couple of seconds. We'll keep him to the Flat for a while. I would love to get him into one of the big money handicaps but he might need to win another one.

Thomas Gibney

After race at Bellewstown Thu, 2nd Jul, 2015 (1st)

He liked the ground and everything suited him. I had high hopes for him at one stage but it didn't materialise.

Thomas Gibney

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 22nd Apr, 2015 (1st)

I'm delighted and I don't think anyone could begrudge him that. He made hard work of it. Adrian said he thought he was going to win easy but he made it hard for himself. I'm just happy he got the result. He might stick to hurdles for the minute but will definitely go back on the Flat at some stage. He could go to Punchestown if there is something suitable.

Thomas Gibney

After race at Roscommon Mon, 10th Jun, 2013 (1st)

He gets every yard of that trip and I was confident after Fairyhouse as we had a good pull at the weight with the other horse (Saratoga Baby). He will more than likely go over hurdles in time and we will see what the handicapper does now but he might just scrape into a premier handicap at the Curragh on Derby weekend.
