After race at Curragh Sat, 20th Jul, 2013 (1st)

He likes it here. He travelled well and the gaps appeared for him. I didn't enter him for Galway as I didn't think he would like it there and I didn't want to be tempted to go.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 3rd May, 2013 (1st)

We dropped him back in trip as he showed lots of pace the last day,. He likes the surface and it was his last opportunity here so we took our chance. It's nice to win with him. He's a grand straight forward fella. He has a couple of entries over the weekend and on Monday and Wednesday but the rain coming mightn't help.

This is the first year we've had horses for Coleman Bloodstock (the successful owners) and it's nice to have a winner for them. This horse liked the surface and Gary said he went away on it well. We'll come back here now and just pick up what we can. He hadn't much done at two and he came to us late enough . he's only getting the hang of things now.
