After race at Downpatrick Sat, 12th Jun, 2021 (1st)

He's not the most predictable of horses, so he was on a going day today and it was great. Aidan (Kelly) is with me full time, big thanks to Frank (Berry) and JP (McManus) for giving him the opportunity. He gave him a great ride. He had winning form here a long time ago, we may come back if that is the case! It is great he got his head in front.
