You are always worried when they are a maiden if they are going to do it, but he's actually a very genuine horse. He's a big horse and probably just had a few growing issues. He has turned the corner now and hopefully he can go on and win another one. He has form on the turf and would probably jump a hurdle, he is big enough to, so there are loads of routes for him. Johnny (O'Brien, owner) has been very patient with him as he always is. John C McConnell, trainer
J. Kearney, rider of Don't Look Now, trained by Luke Comer, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount had to check a furlong out
P.A. Harnett, rider of Miss Heartbreak, trained by Luke Comer, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount had to check a furlong and a half down but it made no difference to his finishing position
