After race at Listowel Mon, 2nd Jun, 2014 (1st)

it's tough because I have to sell any of the decent ones and I'm left with the moderate ones to train. I had a two year old (Ellenvelyn) which ran well when third at Cork recently and the phone was hopping for the next few days afterwards. There was plenty interest from America and I didn't have much option but to sell. I'm delighted this horse (Fantastic Bob) won today and he might go for a similar race at Roscommon next week.
