After race at Limerick Sun, 3rd Jul, 2011 (1st)

We were delighted with his first run back at Ballinrobe. He has had leg trouble and we thought he would come on for that run and he has. He's jumping won it for him, he jumped super and Robert (Jones) gave him a great ride. He loves the good ground.

E McNamara

After race at Limerick Sun, 28th Dec, 2008 (1st)

We bought him at the Newmarket Horses In Training Sale (won two with Harry Dunlop) which has been lucky for us, we got Strangely Brown there too. He had an awful lot of schooling done coming here and we hoped he'd win. He looks a nice horse and he should progress from here and go for a winners of one. (EM)
