He travelled great tonight and nine times out of ten when he gets into a battle he's very hard to beat,. He's a tough, genuine old horse — he's an old legend. The more you can get stuck into him, and grab a hold of him, he loves the battle. We bred him and still have the mare at home. She's still popping out a few foals. It's a great old family of horses. He worked on the Curragh early on Sunday morning, when no-one could see us, and he worked well. Myself and Dad were happy enough. His horses are flying and it's great. He's had three winners in the last couple of weeks. Touch wood it keeps going and he gets a few more winners. I've had four in the last month so it's great. I started off the season well and it went quiet enough during the middle of the summer. I had plenty of rides but was just hitting the crossbar at times. The last couple of weeks have been great. I might even get the jumps licence out and get a few spins over hurdles out of Dad. I'd be able to claim off 9-10!
