After race at Leopardstown Wed, 29th Dec, 2010 (1st)

I'd say he's improved a bit since his last run. He'll be a lovely horse when he jumps a fence, and Barry gave him a fine ride,.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Clonmel Thu, 11th Nov, 2010 (1st)

He deserved that after being placed on his last few runs, and Davy gave him a great ride. He'll go to Fairyhouse for a three mile handicap later this month.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Downpatrick Mon, 31st Aug, 2009 (1st)

I'm delighted for Joey, he works hard in the yard and he gave the horse a brilliant ride. We will probably go to Perth in two weeks time for a Novice hurdle and as regards ground he'll go on anything.
