After race at Cork Sun, 26th Aug, 2012 (1st)

turning in for home I thought we had no chance and even after the second last, Barry (Geraghty) said that he still needed to wing the final fence to have a chance!. I thought all the way round today that the ground wasn't totally to his liking but he is such a brave horse and battled so well on the run-in. He went up quite a bit for his last win and I wasn't sure he 'd cope with the extra weight; we'll keep him going as long as the ground isn't heavy.

Mrs Prunella Dobbs

After race at Limerick Thu, 21st Jul, 2011 (1st)

Robbie rode him very well. He is a consistent horse and hasn't run a bad race all year. He is a summer horse and will tip away now for the rest of the summer.

Mrs Prunella Dobbs

After race at Ballinrobe Wed, 27th Apr, 2011 (1st)

Face Facts has been knocking on the door quite a bit recently and deserved that. He is by Luso, and those horses take an extra bit of time to come to themselves. He'll stay handicapping now.
