We always thought he was a nice horse in the spring but he disappointed on his first run here,. He's been a bit of a playboy and we had him gelded. He ran in a visor for the first time at Naas in the Birdcatcher and they helped sharpen him up but he became unbalanced on the ridges. We always thought he was capable of winning a maiden. I have to give Fergal credit and it was his idea to make the running and he executed it well. He kept galloping all the way to the line. The penny is only dropping now with him and he's learning what racing is about. There's nothing wrong with his attitude. He should improve again as he carries a lot of condition. He is for sale but if we don't sell him he'll be a nice horse for good ground next year. M D O'Callaghan, trainer
