Cork Tue, 1st Oct, 2024  Smoke Them Out He was bought for €4,000 in Goffs (September 2023) and, from day one, was always lovely, although was a bit of a shell so was always going to fill up. He showed up plenty and while he initially had a lovely mark, I ran him in a maiden in Bellewstown and he almost ran too well. I was giving out to the handicapper but, as usual, he was proved right again. If the ground stays reasonable he'll run in the Birdcatcher and while he gallops like a horse who would appreciate a 'dig', I'm not sure if he is strong enough to handle it yet. Stephen Sweeney, from Ardee, bought into him recently and is also involved in Rampage. I bought five in Fairyhouse last week and the dearest was €6,000 so hopefully we can sneak a nice one out of them. I don't have owners for them but hope to later in the year and those are all qualified for the auction series races.
