Leopardstown Sun, 29th Dec, 2024  Ol Man Dingle Brian (Caherty, owner) has a big crowd down with him from Armagh and I’m delighted for him. We had him kind of laid out for this race. He hadn’t run for a while as we gave him a little break. You are always a little bit apprehensive if you have done enough or given him too much time off, but I couldn’t have been happier with him coming here. For the first mile I was worried that he was too fresh, but once Ricky got him out he settled and I’m delighted with that performance. He galloped on well and Ricky said if something came to him, he would have gone on again. This was his mid-season target, so we’ll have to reassess things from here.
