He had a low weight and stays well. I'm a bit surprised as I thought he might get a place. Rachael gave him a cracking ride, and the rain may have helped as it made the ground a bit looser. I thought he was beaten from where I was standing. That's probably my biggest win in terms of prize money. I've won plenty of big races in the past like the Kerry National, the Troytown, and the Munster National a few times.

The horses weren't right all winter, they are just starting to come right now. He is not a bad horse and he wanted the better ground. He won easy and he will be kept on the go, he is a summer horse. He will go handicapping now.

I thought he had the form to win but I was afraid of the track. I was right as he didn't come down the hill but then flew home. He wants a good galloping track,. That ground was fine but I'd say he wouldn't go on heavy ground. He'll go back over hurdles. The owner Tom O'Brien is a doctor from Tralee.
