After race at Down Royal Sat, 20th Jun, 2009 (1st)

Hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on him. He is a genuine horse.

M Halford

After race at Roscommon Sun, 7th Jun, 2009 (1st)

He loved the ground, his run in Dundalk has worked out well. He's a bit older now and he got the 7f well. We'll keep tipping away in handicaps for the Summer now.
