After race at Curragh Sun, 3rd Nov, 2024 (1st) 
That race is perfect for him as he gets in pretty well. Robert said he was getting a bit lonely in front and picked up again when the other horses were coming at him. He’s mad well and looks terrific. Gary (O’Brien), who led him up, does 90% of the work. He keeps him sweet and just rides him out a few days a week. Racing keeps him happy.
