After race at Punchestown Sat, 19th Nov, 2011 (1st)

that's more like it! It was probably a mistake running his at Galway the last day when the ground was terrible. It was his first run back and Puppy (Robbie Power's nickname) did the right thing pulling him up . that's probably the reason he won today. I imagine we'll wait for Christmas now but we'll see what the handicapper does. I imagine he might get into something like the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown - I'll feel my way with him, he might get the three miles.

We'll see if we can get another little handicap for him on nicer ground. He seems to be improving. He had been disappointing. Hopefully he is going the right way now. He lost his way after his maiden hurdle, hopefully nice ground might rejuvenate him.
