After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 24th Aug, 2018 (1st)

It was a super ride from Rachael. Johnny (Flanagan, owner) used to have Moscow Mannon with us and we got this guy to replace him. He’s a lovely horse, and I’m looking forward to going over a fence with him in time. He’s had a couple of little niggly things that have held him up and we decided to give him the time. He was a big backward horse, so I think he’ll keep improving. I think he could race on for the winter to a degree. I don’t know if he’d go on real winter ground but we’ll see.
