After race at Limerick Thu, 28th Dec, 2023 (1st)  It was a finish of bobbing heads. Usually I’d have a fair idea what way the result has gone but this time I really didn’t know. It’s great that we were called as the winner because we’ve been hitting the crossbar up to this point over Christmas. It’s lovely to get one here at Limerick in particular. There was nothing between the front two. We got a real good jump at the last, and that was probably the winning of the race. The ground was really bad at Clonmel one day and we kind of had our minds made up that we wouldn’t run him in that ground again. With the ground so testing here, we had a chat about that again this morning, but because he was absolutely working particularly well and that he was in superb form, we said we’d take our chance. If it wasn’t working out, the plan was for Conor to mind him. The owners of this horse are the most loyal and superb people. Michael Hannon is a friend of my brother Jimmy and he’s been with me for a good while now. We’ve had a bit of success together and this horse has been lucky for us. E McNamara

After race at Cork Thu, 23rd Mar, 2023 (1st)  I'm delighted for Michael Hannon, from Clarina Co Limerick, who has had horses with us for a few years and it is great to build on his second placing the last day. He is a handy horse but is a gamey old devil. He probably doesn't want bottomless but they're getting through it as it is loose. He'll run through the summer as he'll go on nicer ground. E McNamara
