After race at Cork Mon, 5th Aug, 2013 (1st)

He got a leg at Galway two years ago and he had been off the track since (returned to action at Killarney last month). He still retains a bit of class and it is nice to come back with him and win at the age of twelve. He was my banker at Galway but he was just unlucky.

After race at Galway Fri, 29th Jul, 2011 (1st)

With a little ease in the ground there was always going to be a day in him, and touch wood it was today. Noel O'Brien (handicapper) will probably give him a bit of a hit after this.

It's been a great week. This fella has been a bit unlucky. It's taken a long time to get him back to that but it's nice to see him win.

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 22nd Nov, 2008 (1st)

This horse has been very disappointing but he won like a decent horse today. I was beginning to lose faith in him, we've no set plans for him.
