After race at Thurles Thu, 6th Oct, 2022 (1st) 
He deserved that as he had been running well on the flat. He is a fantastic horse, runs over hurdles and on the flat and he'll win again on the flat,. I was in a panic about the November Handicap because he had to have three flat runs for it and if the entries aren't closed, could run in it. Otherwise I might even find a handicap for him in England. He is a bit slow out of stalls, that is the hard part as it is difficult to teach an eight year old to come out quicker!. It is great for Dan and Linda Kiely (part owners with Rob Kearney) as he's the first horse we'd had for them.

He's in again tomorrow so we'll see how he is. He didn't have too hard a race but we'll see. He appreciates better ground and has progressed well on it.

He's a grand sort. He had been beaten a few times, but in fairness to him he had some lovely runs and bumped into a few horses,. I like the way he stayed galloping, he'll be okay.
