Our Friend makes a more than pleasing debut

He's a lovely horse and we always thought a bit of him. I thought he might run respectable and we might go back for a bumper but I told Kevin if it's happening it's happening. He's a nice horse, I loved his attitude, loved the way he jumped - for a horse first time out the way be behaved himself. You are straight into winners' company now so it's not easy. Kevin said he didn't think there will be any problem stepping him up in trip because he just did everything so relaxed, and he travelled well for him.

These are a great bunch of lads, the Red Neds from the north,. Fair play to them they've been very patient. She got colic at one stage and she nearly died, then she got badly cast and did a lot of damage to her back at the time. They waited and she was ready to run, we were supposed to come here last April, and she got a stone bruise so we left her off. They've been very patient and are a great bunch of lads. I'm delighted for them. She's a nice mare and please God it's onwards and upwards. She has a bit of class. I'll probably go to Navan for the Listed mares bumper but I'll have to talk to these lads. I think she'll improve a lot from that. Ray said she idled away in front and he gave her a great ride.
