After race at Killarney Sun, 2nd Oct, 2022 (1st) 
Tom (Doran, previous owner) was finished with the horse and gave him to me. He was rated 127 at one stage and I thought if I couldn't turn him around I'd retire! He is only rated 70 and should have won at Sligo but wouldn't put his head out. He's not a bad horse and is a winter horse. Touch Of Oscar ran well, having not run his race in Listowel and he'll get his day.

After race at Navan Sun, 19th Mar, 2017 (1st)
It's a great day again and I wish we had racing at Navan every week! He seemed to like that ground today and travelled away well on it. It's great for Tom Doran who has a few horses with us, and we'll look at the likes of Fairyhouse and Punchestown for him.

The loose one didn't help us between the last two,. I had to go back behind him and then ended up on top of the last hurdle, but he picked up again well to win and I suppose he was entitled to on form. He won and that's the main thing.
