After race at Tipperary Fri, 7th Aug, 2015 (1st)  He had a real handy race at Galway last Saturday and while we had our hand forced (by the handicapper, upped 18Ibs), we still took a chance running today. It's nobody's fault but the ground is horrible, and like a gluepot after the dry weather recently. Colin (Keane) said he hated it and didn't want to get to the front too soon; he said that heart got him through. He's very honest but we decided to put blinkers on him as he didn't go through a gap at Roscommon (in July) but that was down to greeness. He wore them at Galway and for obvious reasons there was no way we were taking them off today. G M Lyons

After race at Galway Sat, 1st Aug, 2015 (1st)  you never expect them to win like that and he was very impressive. We've always liked him and it was a toss up whether he went for the maiden last night or this nursery. When we realised he had 75, we were secretly a little bit happy and he'd a 17lb pull with the top horse (Antelope Canyon) for a length-and-a-quarter beating off levels at Roscommon. We've always liked him and thought he'd win a maiden so we'll take it from there. Without insulting anybody it might not have been the greatest race this week and I'm sure the handicapper will react. we put blinkers on him today as in Roscommon he went for a gap and just shied away and was babyish - we just use headgear to help them although he didn't need them as we could have tied a leg up!
