That's his trip. We tried him over a mile and a quarter the last day and while he did get it they just didn't go quick enough. He dictated it there today and Pat gave him a great ride,. In that grade he's grand. He's been a great horse for us, winning seven times, and has a great constitution.

He's a grand old horse and he likes those short-heads (won by a nose here on November 6th). He keeps his head down at the right time,. The handicapper can't do much with him there and he'll come up here again. He's had a long old year but he's as good as ever and looks great. He likes that quick surface. He might idle a bit in front. He's done us no harm since he came back from England.

he came from England last year in mid-season and won in Dundalk and then we gave him a break. He's done well but I thought he might need it. He didn't cost too much and is owned by Mossy Casey who is a businessman from Cahir. Hopefully he'll run at the likes of Killarney and Galway over the summer.
