I'm A Game Changer secures famous win for his connections
I thought turning-in he might run into a place but Darragh said he was fierce confident and won well. We had been riding him that way in good races to try and pick up a few quid and while he has been doing that well, today's race was a slightly lesser race than the ones he had been running in,. He has had a few issues but is on the right path at the moment and hopefully he will stay going that way. We had thought about tipping away in these races and leave him as a novice again for next season but we're not too upset that that plan has gone out the window. He'll keep going for the summer and there are loads of races for him. We are good family friends of the Molonys as well and I'd have known Pierce well so am delighted to win their race. His nine-member syndicate are based all over Ireland and there is another one in Australia, it's their first horse and they'll be thrilled.
