He's an unbelievably consistent horse. I won't say he was unlucky the last night but the 6lb made a difference and Billy is unbelievably confident on him,. He loves it up here but I don't think he'll be too bad on the turf either.

Dundalk Fri, 2nd Feb, 2018 (1st)
I'm thrilled. He's been ultra consistent up here and loves it,. I just thought maybe, on his first run back after a break, and over seven, that it was maybe a little on the short side for him. Billy gave him an unbelievable ride and timed the whole thing to perfection. I'm absolutely delighted. He probably struggled a little last year as a three-year-old against the older horses. They all seem to do that. We gave him a break and that fourth year makes a difference so we should have a good summer ahead with him. In fairness to the handicapper he dropped him 6lb at the end of the season which gave him a good chance too. Fingers crossed we'll get a few more out of him.

We've been up here all winter so it's lovely to come on a nice evening!. He's a straight forward horse and hasn't ever run a bad race. Handicapping is his job. He was probably unlucky the first night. We thought he'd run well but we hadn't him fully wound up and he just got touched off by a short head. He has deserved it. He tries every time and pops out great. He's just a straight forward simple type of horse. Pat liked him and he thought another furlong wouldn't be any harm to him. He's named after a great friend of mine, John Shortt, so that's made it all the sweeter. I think he was giving me a hand today — I needed it. We'll look for another handicap and see what the handicapper does. He's going to be a great fun horse for a great bunch of lads. It's a syndicate that's been very supportive of me so I'm thrilled. I've only had one winner here before, Daytime Dreamer, about six years ago. Hopefully we can come for a few more.
