After race at Navan Sun, 18th Mar, 2012 (1st)

He gave that a peach of a ride and judged it to the last. I was very disappointed with his first couple of runs. I thought it might be the ground but we took him to Dundalk and he didn't run well either. This was a bit lesser race. He stays well and maybe likes being in front. The owner (Maureen Hunt) will be pleased after the couple of disappointing runs.
