After race at Clonmel Thu, 5th Mar, 2015 (1st)

I've had three point-to-point winners this year but this is my first racecourse winner. I took out my license a year ago, have six horses and hopefully will get a couple more now!. It's amazing to win and he jumps and stays and is very genuine. He'll stay hurdling this year and if he is good, and in one piece, will go chasing next season.
