After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 20th Jul, 2012 (1st)

That's terrific as I've always had faith in this horse. All he had to do was run up to his form. He had form with the favourite (Kalico Kim) and he was better off with her at the weights. He has an engine and he has heart and that's what it's all about. The horses have been running very well . we've had ten runners lately and they've all been in the money.
