After race at Limerick Wed, 23rd Jan, 2013 (1st)

Jack got held up for four hours in Bristol airport last night on a flight that didn't go, and it took him another two hours to drive home a distance that normally takes about three quarters of an hour. There was no way he could make it. I love winners but this one hasn't given me as much pleasure as I would have liked. Having said that, I couldn't be happier to get Derek O'Connor as we have a long association together. To be honest it was a fairly ordinary race.
