After race at Navan Sat, 19th Jan, 2019 (1st)

The race cut up in fairness and we got all the luck we needed which doesn’t always happen for him,.

Thomas Gibney

After race at Listowel Mon, 6th Jun, 2016 (1st)

That was a lovely performance and it is lucky the owners weren't listening to me as I wanted to let him out a month ago!. He is thriving in the sunshine and is eating, looking and doing well. That was only his second run in a handicap and I think he's a nice horse. He'll definitely have a breather now as he's on the go a long time.

Thomas Gibney

After race at Sligo Mon, 23rd May, 2016 (1st)

We originally thought he was a winter horse. He has been on the go a long time now and I'm keen to give him a break,. He is owned by a good friend of mine, Kevin Haigney, from Drogheda, who had his first winner with this horse at Cork last time. Mark (Flanagan) is based with Ger Keane but does bits of work for me and is riding out of his skin at the moment.
