After race at Dundalk Fri, 8th Mar, 2019 (1st)  it's been a great night and it's great to get that for Pat at the start of the year. In the race everything went to plan until the two (furlong pole). I thought the two leaders would take each other on but unfortunately I thought they'd bring me a bit further. He's a horse that has no turn of foot so I had to commit when I did. He didn't do a stroke and pulled right up underneath me. If I had been chinned I would have been kicking myself. When he gets into that stride you have to keep him. He made the running the last day and he was fine but today when he hit the front he completely idled. It's daunting enough as it's a long way up the straight but in fairness to him I think if something came to me he'd have battled again. Patrick J Flynn
