After race at Dundalk Wed, 11th Nov, 2015 (1st)

Everyday we're learning more about him. He's seven but he's done no racing. He's by a sprinter in Balmont and if he was a two-year-old he might have speed but all he does is stay. Robbie gave him a peach of a ride. He had been working well with Poitin and Poetic Choice. Credit to the owners, the ABLE Syndicate from Ashtown, who have been very patient.
