After race at Tipperary Thu, 1st Jul, 2021 (1st)

I wasn't at Kilbeggan but it was a nice run. He was due his turn although you'd often be due a turn and it'd never come!. He might go for the same type of race, we'll see what the handicapper'll do. He could jump a fence as well and he ran in point-to-points. He likes the top of the ground.
