After race at Thurles Sun, 23rd Jan, 2022 (1st)

The better ground probably helped and he gave him a chance today as we were probably riding him a bit close. He came with the one run and gave him a beautiful ride - he won't be claiming 5lb for too long more,. There could still be another handicap in him although he still has a long way to go to be as good as his siblings (five winners, including Grade 1 winner Colreevy). Patricia (McCarthy), the winning owner, is my sister.

C Byrnes

After race at Fairyhouse Tue, 12th Jan, 2021 (1st)

It was a good opportunity as he was getting 8lb and he likes the ground,. He had things in his favour today as he was well in. He made heavy enough work of it but he won anyway. It's great to get the win out of him. He'll probably go handicapping now.
