Captain back on song
Tom Taaffe's Glenfinn Captain got back to winning ways with a confidence boosting win in the featured Wilderness Chase at Clonmel today. Thu 30th Oct
He is a Grade Two horse what you see is what you get. He will have a little break now and come back for Fairyhouse and Punchestown. I think he will get 3 miles on better ground Mark [Walsh] said the ground is very bad out there.

This horse had colic in January 2007 and it was touch and go with him, he nearly died. Obviously he is coming back to himself and I'd like to thank J P [McManus] for being very patient and letting me do my own thing. We'll have to think about where to go next, The Boyle Sports Gold Cup at Cheltenham in December is a possibility.
T J Taaffe
Glenfinn Captain went through all of last season with one novice chase win despite having a rating of 135. We'll play away with him in simple races next.
