After race at Dundalk Tue, 3rd Dec, 2019 (1st)

he did it well. He missed the break a bit but I let him travel away and got him nice and relaxed up the inside. I got a nice run up the inside in the straight and he won well in the end. They went very fast early on and I thought they were doing plenty where I was at. I said I'd sit in, take my time and it worked out. He was well handicapped and hopefully the handicapper won't be too sore on him now.
