I'm delighted for his owner Tim Conroy who has been absolutely brilliant to me. To be honest this horse is lucky to be alive as he has three pins in his cannon bone. He fell here last January but seemed to be fine afterwards. There must have been an underlying problem as we only discovered the injury a week later. Davy said he was lugging rather than hanging, and he did that when I won two bumpers on him. Hopefully he's okay in the morning, and we'll find a winners-of-one for him.

He's a nice horse and I'd say he's improved a bit from Wexford,. He's still a big raw shelly type of a horse but with a bit of time and proper management he'll do well. I schooled him during the week and he jumps well so I'll have a chat with the owners now and see what to do. His pedigree stands up. He's from a good family that included Glebe Lad. I'd like to thank Tim Conroy for keeping the horses with me. He has been a good owner for Michael and hopefully I can keep the success going.
