After race at Dundalk Wed, 23rd Mar, 2022 (1st)

Shane hasn't been riding him the last five or six times and he does get on particularly well with him. He has been unlucky and running into traffic. I was away in Vegas and only got back at 7 this morning, I think I'm heading for being up 36 hours!. Before we got him, he was better on turf and will go back on it for his grade. He generally runs his race and to be fair to him he is fairly consistent.

James McAuley

After race at Dundalk Fri, 22nd Oct, 2021 (1st)

He ran here last week but he got no cover on the outside and was very keen. He can just be pure ignorant. We put the red hood on him today and dropped him down in trip. He was tough in the finish and his ignorance probably helped him there. We claimed him from the same race we also got Sister Lola (on September 2nd).

James McAuley

After race at Dundalk Fri, 10th Jan, 2020 (1st)

He deserved it, he's a little horse carrying a lot of weight and is very genuine,. He wasn't a dear horse and we're delighted he's had his day. The people involved in him are very good people and we're delighted to get a winner for them.
