After race at Galway Sun, 29th Oct, 2017 (1st)

he went well and jumped great and that’s his trip. Maybe it was a bit quick for him at Clonmel the last day and Philip gave him a great ride today. We put cheek-pieces on him today and maybe it woke him up a little bit more. Hopefully he’ll win again and we’ll get something else for him along the line.
