I honestly couldn't believe it, he just kept picking up down the straight. I was barely touching him. I knew him from his good days when he won three around here and he loves to come wide. Not a bother on him, he tried to run away on me coming back!. I should know him a lot better but he is dad's pet, he rides him out every single day. I know him well enough at this stage.

that's his (Northern Surprise) first run here but I just got a feeling he'd handle it as it's been riding a bit easier this year. He'll go for something similar in a few weeks time if all is well. The only time I can remember Pat riding for me before was on a horse called Destiny's Child, and she won here as well.

He goes like a nice horse at home but was disappointing in the spring and had a wind operation since his last run. The ground is as quick as he'd like it and he'll go to Galway for something next.

my lad doesn't do a lot when he hits the front and he was the same at Gowran the last day. He kept at it well enough and is a nice horse who keeps improving.
