he loves the job; I've thought about retiring him several times but he just seems to enjoy it and he enjoys being in work. I thought we might get another run out of him before the end of the season but I can't see him coming back to the track next season to be honest. He's home-bred and it meant a lot for him to win today. He was a little bit unlucky the last day, he unseated at the third fence in Sligo in a similar kind of race and he had perfect ground. I was a little bit worried about the rain but he got away with it there today. When you're in lesser company you get away with a lot of things!.
