He's a real nice horse and he's obviously going the right way,. He's improved all the way through and he loves a bit of decent ground. There is a £100,00 handicap in York for him and that's probably where he'll go. I think the track will suit him. We had a discussion about whether this trip would suit him or not. I'd say a strong run mile would be perfect for him as he has the turn of foot. The race certainly wasn't run to suit him but good horses will do that. David Marnane

After race at Curragh Sun, 29th Sep, 2024 (1st)  He's a very good horse. He went to York and mightn't have been on the top of his game, but the ground was very firm that day and I don't know whether he wanted it that quick. I'd say it made a man of him anyway. He's improving and, with the size of him, all he's going to do is get better. My wife showed me a video of him the other day, from February of this year, and he's a completely different horse. Unfortunately, he's going to go to the sales, I'd love to keep him. He's in the October horses-in-training sale. He'll make some horse for Australia. David Marnane

After race at Dundalk Fri, 12th Jul, 2024 (1st)  First run in a handicap the last day, we dropped him in and the pace was minimal to say the least. To be fair, he quickened up really well. It is lucky we see the fractions and they were pretty good from just before the turn in to half a furlong from home. . The drop back in trip didn't worry me and he's a very nice horse. I don't know how high he will go, but I'd say there is more left anyway. . It was just the bottomless ground in Tipperary. He travelled and was cantering turning in, but just couldn't get out of that ground at all. . Other than that, he has been very consistent all the way through. . He's a lovely big (The) Grey Gatsby. He's a big, genuine horse - he's huge. I'd say that is one of the main things, I'd say he is so big we probably won't see the best of him until next year, but we are here and hopefully he can win a couple for us before we let him go at the end of the year. . We had him in at Killarney just in case he absolutely bolted in. I think we'll leave him alone, but we'll see how he comes out of it. We'll plot away with him for the rest of the year. David Marnane
