After race at Fairyhouse Tue, 19th Nov, 2019 (1st)

It’s nice to do it at the local track. He minded himself last week and came out of the race well. There could be a race for him here again on New Years Day. I ride him myself at home most of the time and he’s very straight forward. He’s a pleasure to ride, a real gentleman. He’d no problem this year at all. Usually he gets some sort of niggle but everything was very straight forward. You don’t know if they still have the appetite still at his age, and we might get another one out of him.

It’s nice to see him get back to form. He surprised us earlier in the year when he won a Ladies race but he got a terrible fall at Thurles and it’s taken a while to get his confidence back. He jumped well today and Trevor got a great old spin out of him. I thought the ground might have dried up a bit too much for him but he stuck his head out and will be all the better over three miles. He may go to Limerick on Sunday week.

I took a licence out over ten years ago and I'd a winner in my first year with a horse called Captain Mike (at Roscommon in July 2003). I haven't had a winner since and I've been a long time trying. We have been knocking on the door and hitting the crossbar, and it's nice to get that at my local track. I train the other side of Ashbourne. He loved the ground, jumped well and stayed well. My wife is away for the weekend but she will be delighted and we'll have to put a hold on the celebrations!
