After race at Downpatrick Fri, 11th Oct, 2024 (1st)

It's getting easy! He's a super wee horse,. I bought him for very small money. . He was very deficient in copper - copper turned him inside out. I give everything a course of copper when they come to me. . Not too many has done three (in a row at Downpatrick). With Downpatrick finishing up, I don't know what the plan will be.
