Downpatrick Sun, 11th Aug, 2019  Canadian Steel We'll have to go to Tramore on Thursday before the handicapper gets a hold of us now!. He's improving all the time and he is going well. I still think he is a better horse over fences than over hurdles - he's a savage jumper over fences and travels that well over fences. I'll be in Spain on Thursday but I'll be able to watch it!. It was the first time ever I had a double - I had a double one day with a point-to-point winner and a track winner but I never had a track double.

Downpatrick Sun, 11th Aug, 2019  Bracka Lily Fair play to the stewards for letting us run (with Danny Mullins putting up 4lb overweight). They could have been very awkward and not let us run. All the owners are here and they didn't make too much of a fuss,. He rode her very well and is a very shrewd jockey. She's not overly big and I thought today we would put her in a higher class race and take the weight off her - it worked a treat. It will be something similar again, and if we get a bit of weight off her back she will be all the better for it. She was going well here the last day and she fell at the top of the hill.
