After race at Listowel Mon, 6th Jun, 2016 (1st)

Straightaway I got put in my place!. It was great in Gowran and our own horse (runner-up Leo Minor) maybe got a little tired and I underestimated the strength of Joseph's horse obviously. His (Joseph's winner Justice Frederick) first run was over five and he is a horse that will get seven and further. This horse (Mai Fitzs Jack) was unlucky the last day when he made a mistake at the last two and I think the winner was a decent horse. I'm not sure but I'd imagine he'll (Joseph) keep him busy over the summer. It's a massive day for us and it's great to get a win both jump and flat. I couldn't believe when someone said to me that it was 23 years ago to the meeting (then at Tralee) that I had my first winner with Wandering Thoughts - I couldn't believe that, it is some coincidence. Joseph loves it (training) - he loved riding but it was tough for him for a long time (with weight) - doing nine stone every morning was very hard. He's a big man now, he's well over 11 stone and he doesn't look heavy. No one will get more pleasure than me but I'll have to keep my eye on the ball now!
