After race at Listowel Sun, 16th Sep, 2012 (1st)

It is nice to have him back and to see him win again. I don't have any plans for him. I'm not sure if he was a bit lucky to win the way things worked out but things certainly fell nicely from him today.

E J O'Grady

After race at Gowran Park Sun, 17th Apr, 2011 (1st)

He'll probably turn out again tomorrow week for the novice handicap chase at Fairyhouse,.

E J O'Grady

After race at Clonmel Thu, 16th Dec, 2010 (1st)

If he comes out of this okay he'll go for the big two miler (the Grade 1 Bord na Mona With Nature Novice Steeplechase on St Stephen's Day) at Leopardstown. I was disappointed that he got beaten at Limerick (by Quel Esprit) but I'd say that'll turn out to be as good a beginners chase as you'll see all season. I decided to put the cheek-pieces on him today because when he hit the front two out at Limerick he started to look around him. I hope he'll be an Arkle horse.

E J O'Grady

After race at Naas Thu, 3rd Dec, 2009 (1st)

I'm pleasantly surprised. I don't know where he'll go. I'll try to find another suitable race for him somewhere; I'm just pleased he did it as nicely as he did.
