His work has been good, really smart actually, and the biggest problem, we thought, was would he switch off,. Brian (Laird) and his family have pre-trained him and done a serious job because he hasn't been simple, he's very free. He did a couple of bits of work recently and we just wanted to get him here in one piece, thank God everything worked out. We travelled him up last night and he stayed in Brian's. We actually brought him racing earlier today, to get the microchip done, and then he went back to Brian's for an hour. He never turned a hair. Deccy gave him a serious ride, he was very good on him. I met Dusty Sheehy yesterday, we both had trained (Grade 2 winner) Kahuna and I told him he was as good as him but he had to learn how to breathe and run his race. Declan was brilliant on him. I have thank Brian and the family for supporting me. I gave up my licence a couple years ago after a few things and lost my brother earlier this year. It's been hard but this makes it all worthwhile. This is a good horse. Everything is for sale but today was the plan as Brian and his family are just five miles up the road. Muredach Kelly, trainer
