After race at Listowel Sat, 28th Sep, 2024 (1st)  I was kicking myself after Ballinrobe as I gave him a break after his first win and while I'm not knocking the Ballinrobe winner, he blew up as I hadn't him fit enough,. He is a very very good horse, is an incredible jumper and reminds me of French Ballerina. I was going to go point-to-pointing as he jumps chase fences but decided not and I'm delighted he went on the soft ground today. . The ideal thing would be sell him to stay in the yard and if anybody wants a good horse, that's a good horse. I couldn't believe it when I bought him at the sales as the people who sold him were disappointed with his price (€22,000) on the day. I loved the horse and said I had to buy him, and that's it. He is only four and there won't be any saddle on his back now for about four months. I'm not saying anything for definite but the Cheltenham Bumper might be a possibility although that would be the only other bumper he might run in. Patrick J Flynn

After race at Cork Fri, 5th Jul, 2024 (1st)  I thought he had a chance today. I love the sire and have a pile of them by the sire as Pat Smullen told me Free Eagle was one of the best horses he’d ridden. He was a reasonable price for my mares and I bought this lad as a yearling for 22,000Euro. . He did everything to get himself beaten there today. He pulled so hard and when he learns to race he’ll be a real nice horse.  Patrick J Flynn
