See also » Winning-spare-gives-Torrens-his-first-double He tripped here three runs ago and fell when he looked like he would be first or second and was second in Tramore the last day. Good ground is key to him and we were struggling to get him into races. I was thinking yesterday whether or not I'd run him from 5lbs out of the handicap but I looked at the calendar and there was nothing coming up so I had to run him. Adam (Short) then got hurt and I had never met Simon (Torrens) but he gave him a great ride and the 4lbs was a big help. We'll look for a similar race again next.
