Fragile El Barra impresses on return
El Barra looked a very smart prospect when returning from a long absence to run out a facile winner of the concluding bumper at Thurles this afternoon. Thu 19th Nov
As Paul said, he owed him that after unshipping him in Listowel and it is nice to see him do that. That is his first winner back (from an unspecified injury) and I'm looking forward to having the rest of the winter with him.

Down the back he never missed a beat and he was so clever going down to the last - it was either sort yourself out or be long. In Limerick he was very good at sorting himself out so I left it up to him. It is a brilliant win on a big stage especially for Willie. It has been unbelievable (season), I've so much support though - obviously Willie, David Casey, Patrick (Mullins), Ruby (Walsh), Paul Townend, Danny (Mullins), all they want to do is help me. My riding is after improving so much having them in my corner anyway. Man and dad always made sure we had the best ponies to give it a proper go jumping. My heart was never in the showjumping and it took them a while to come round with the racing but they love the racing. They are not here today but they will be up tomorrow and there is no doubt they are watching at home. I've three rides tomorrow and I'm actually looking forward to all three of them. It was a very polished ride. I think I’m going to use him as my driver. He found his way around all the traffic there and I got held up in traffic and only saw the end of it!. He’s a very good young rider. He started off with my brother Tom and we saw how good he was. We invited him to ride some of our horses and he’s champion conditional ride this year which is fantastic for him.

He’s done it nicely, jumped a bit left. I think he’s going to be a better horse over fences and he’ll go chasing next season,.

It was a long wait for Richie as he was fragile and when I was going out I was at pains not to come off the bridle which wasn't very difficult!. We thought he was a very good horse pre-Christmas 2018 and we haven't been able to keep him right since but we got him here having minded him at home so I think there is a lot more improvement in him, if he can keep in one piece. To me whatever he did, there is huge improvement.
