Tramore Tue, 26th Nov, 2024  Portarlington The first day we ran him in Limerick the ground was too quick for him and Keith said he didn’t come down the hill. He told us that day that he’d win the next day and he was right. We were confident coming here today and the ground was probably the only worry with it being so heavy but he has plenty of knee action and he handled it well. It’s great for the boys (Pipe Down Syndicate). It’s only their second horse win me and that’s three winners now so it’s great.

Fairyhouse Tue, 12th Nov, 2024  Portarlington that’s just his second run for me and Keith (Donoghue, brother) rode him the last day and loved him. He said he gallops and stays but didn’t come down the hill that day in Limerick on quick ground. He was good today and Josh gave him a great ride. He might go again at Navan on Sunday: the two-mile race might be a bit short for him but it’s a big stiff track.
