OTI (Racing) have been good supporters of ours and they seem to have bought another nice horse. Ben said he was very green when he hit the front and pricked his ears but he stayed on nicely. I thought he was a horse that would probably stay a mile and a half, and he might, but he showed enough speed around there today. I don’t have him that long and he’s sure to improve. He’s a big backward horse and should improve with racing. J P Murtagh, trainer
