After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 28th Nov, 2021 (1st)

We thought he might run a nice race in the Troytown last week but he fell at the first and Denis gave him a brilliant ride,. He was in a dispersal Sale out of Gigginstown, and we bought him for these type of races and to have a runner in Cheltenham and all these places. The Irish Grand National would be the aim and he could go for the Kim Muir (at Cheltenham) too. I'm delighted for David (Barnard) and a very good friend of mine Mark Madden, who used to ride, owns a leg of him so it is great for them.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Thurles Thu, 7th Mar, 2019 (1st)

He is improving away as we are stepping him up in trip. Rachael gave him a very good ride and I'm delighted,.

Joseph Patrick O'Brien

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 16th Feb, 2019 (1st)

That was good. Over two miles on good ground it just all happened a bit quick for him the last day. He went up in trip today and the bit of juice in the ground helped him too. Rachael gave him a lovely ride. He's an improving horse. Last year he didn't show much in bumpers but he did well on his winter's break and improved. He's a nice staying type of horse. We'll see what the handicapper does now.
