Ballinrobe Tue, 23rd Jul, 2024  Black Heather He'd a great run in Kilbeggan, but we were disappointed and we just thought he didn't stay. In the meantime, he was declared to run in a mile and a half Flat maiden in Tramore and, I won't lie, I was disgusted that it was called off. But maybe it was for luck. I don't know did he just not handle the real winter ground. He's been working well and with loads of pace all year. I'm delighted to give Pa the winner and for his owners Finbar and Grainne (O'Reilly), they bred him and they've been patient with him. I'm good friends with their son Oisin, he's a farrier and is in Australia at the moment. A winners' bumper could be an option, but he will definitely run on the Flat and he's for sale.
