First Lieutenant impressive in Gowran Bumper
First Lieutenant who was an impressive winner at point to point winner at Kilfeacle made it an impressive winning debut on the racecourse when landing the Bennettsbridge Flat Race. Sat 06th Mar
He will go to Leopardstown at Christmas with probably one more run before that. He will be entered for the Drinmore but I'd prefer to avoid the big guns for the moment.
M F Morris
I'm relieved and very satisfied. He got a bit tired but that's to be expected against race fit horses,. He could do no more. He's jumped well and he's got a brain. I want to get some experience into him but I've no real plans. Hopefully he's ok in the morning and we'll take it from there.
M F Morris
I didn't fancy him over this trip as he's a two and a half mile horse, and in fairness to Michael O'Leary it was his idea to come here. I wanted to go for a winners of one at Limerick but he said why not have a go and if you're not in you can't win,. I'll have to talk with my trainer (O'Leary) to see where we go next,. quipped Morris before adding, .If he goes to Cheltenham it would be for the two and a half mile race (Neptune Investment Novices Hurdle) but he's a horse for next year.
M F Morris
He's a lovely horse and we'll put him away now.
M F Morris
