He got a bit of a leg after Killarney last year so we were hemming and hawing whether we'd run him. But they done a great job watering the ground here,. I can forgive Sean Flanagan now for beating us in the first race! This fellow can be keen and Sean got him well-settled. It's great for John Grant (one of the Fastey For Fun Syndicate) who is eighty-nine. They (the syndicate) had Double Winsdor last night who finished third, and they are from Waterford so it's real local. I will see how he is before making a plan for him. He was a cheap horse and he is after winning two races now. He is still well-treated on the handicap and if the handicapper isn't too hard on him he might win another one. David M O'Brien, trainer
