Days does the business for McKiernan
He's a lazy gent. I thought with the heavy rain that came it wouldn't help him,. I thought he wanted better ground but he handled that well so I'm not so sure I was right. Phillip said he wouldn't handle heavy ground. The blinkers helped him as he was very sleepy in his races. Even when he hit the front today Phillip had to keep after him, he wouldn't do a whole pile. It's a good way to be. He holds condition, he does the same work as any other horse at home but at the same him he carries weight. He stands in the stable, eats everything and jog around the gallop at home. You'd say he wasn't put the effort in but hopefully that will all change after getting his head in front. I know the race cut up but I thought he had come on a good bit and he kept going. We'll go for another handicap and he can jump a fence as well.
Perseverance pays off with Lispopple
Perseverance was the answer here. I wanted to sell him after his last run and we had a buyer in the yard but Michael (Fagan) rang me to say we'll give him one more go,. He jumped better today and he's just grown up a bit. He's like a horse that could win again, he won so well. He handles the soft ground, he was fourth one day in Naas in a big field on heavy ground. When the rain came we said it might improve his chances. We would have been satisfied with a place.
