After race at Dundalk Wed, 30th Oct, 2024 (1st)  I'm telling the lads one of the days it will fall right for him and that's the way he would win. I didn't think he would be giving them a 10-length start, but it shows the ability he has. He's always a horse with loads of ability, but he just needs a proper pace to be coming at. He's had solid runs and the step up the mile and a-half was going to be a plus for him. He's just an odd horse and things have to go right for him. We'll tip away with him. It is great to get that one for James. Rampage runs here on Friday night and James is on him. He has been with me since during school and he is still apprenticed to me. I gave him his first ride. He's a very talented rider and very balanced. He is getting the best side of a lot of these photo finishes. T G McCourt

After race at Sligo Wed, 9th Aug, 2023 (1st)  He'd been running very consistently this year, the only middling run he had was at Roscommon when things just didn't go right for him. The rest of his runs have been solid and I think the step up in trip on the soft ground was a big plus. He's from an Aga Khan family and it's all stamina all the way back. James said he really picked up when he hit the rising ground and ended up getting there too soon. They probably had gone plenty quick and the race fell apart to some extent, but he has loads of ability. He's done plenty of schooling and jumps quick. He'll probably go for another Flat race but I'd like to get him going over hurdles before the good ones come out. One of the owners, David Daly, is a member of Glyde Rangers GAA Club in Tallanstown Co Louth and hopefully some of the other lads in the club had a few quid on. I know David certainly did and he's delighted. T G McCourt
