After race at Tipperary Sun, 17th Jul, 2016 (1st)

He's a tough horse and probably wasn't as good a race as he ran in at Limerick the last day when he bumped into one. It's good to get him to win and it is a good pot to get. He can make the odd mistake but is good usually and it was probably no harm he did make it (mistake six out) as he winged everything else after that. The horses are running well and are healthy so long may that last - in time we'll have a nice team. This fellow and Carriganog are in the (Galway) Plate and they'd be touch and go to get in but will run if they do. Tigris River might sneak into the hurdle and Plinth is in it too. There is a chance a couple of them will get in - I don't think the entries are as big this year and if they get in, they'll run.
