After race at Downpatrick Sat, 15th Oct, 2011 (1st)

He might go over fences now as he won three point-to-point's. He stays and jumps well. His owner Sean Murphy is from Galway and he didn't travel up today, so he won't be allowed to anymore!. There is a small chance he will go for a winners of one but he will probably go chasing.
