The horses have been in great form and are doing everything right. He's been a bit unfortunate, he probably hasn't won as many races as he should have for the class of animal he is but today was brilliant,. He's been running since he was a two-year-old and has given us some great days, he won a Galway Hurdle and he's been a real good servant. He's been running in top quality handicaps on the Flat and over hurdles and always finishing bang there. It's lovely to get that today. We had a few bad years, we had a lot of mishaps and different troubles but touch wood all the horses are running well now again. Fingers crossed it continues. The hope is to go back to Galway with him but when they get to that stage of life you just keep tipping away and hope they pay for themselves. It's like Golden Spear who is retired now, he won in Leopardstown in March. Hopefully this fella will run away over the summer, go to Killarney and end up in Galway. The Galway Hurdle is probably beyond him now and we could look at the consolation hurdle on the Friday. His Flat mark is quite good now, he's down to 76 and he is competing well in good handicaps in the mid 80s so that long distance handicap in York could be on the agenda for him. A J Martin, trainer
