After race at Tramore Mon, 19th Apr, 2021 (1st)

That was mighty! He jumped like a stag for me and I kept getting breathers into him whenever I needed to. I got there way too soon. He was my first ever winner on the track at this meeting three years ago. Now he has provided me with my first track winner over fences and he has been a great horse for us. I'm after winning on him three times now and Paul (Townend) could never win on him! . Today was the plan with him. We actually thought he might need the run because he had been off the track for a bit. He really enjoyed himself today.
