After race at Cork Sun, 26th Aug, 2012 (1st) Galway genuniely probably came too soon for him after Tipperary. He had a break after Galway and that helped him a bit. I was afraid he would get a bit edgy. Davy said he couldn't pull down his goggles today as he was travelling so well. Davy got it right tatically at Galway but there was no riding on him today. He is improving mad everyday and he is growing an awful lot, he is 16.2 hands high now and is very athletic. He will go for a graded hurdle at Tipperary now in mid-October and if he keeps doing what he is doing over hurdles he will be kept over them. We will wait until after Tipperary before making other plans. We might wait until he comes up again a proper horse before deciding whether or not to go chasing. He is electric over fences and he will have a racecourse school in about a fortnights time. He has hardly any mileage. Michael Winters
After race at Tipperary Sun, 22nd Jul, 2012 (1st) Island Wood, who runs for me later today, stood in the stable with him while we were saddling Rebel Fitz and it helped keep him calm. He keeps training on and improving. Davy gave him a peach of a ride but a lot of the work was done by Barry Geraghty and he'd have ridden him today but was claimed to ride The Real Article. Davy will keep the ride now in the Galway Hurdle if he wants it. Michael Winters
After race at Clonmel Thu, 10th May, 2012 (1st) The plan is to go chasing with him in a couple of weeks,. That was beautiful ground, pure National Hunt ground, and once we get a slight ease he'll be chasing away for the summer. Adrian Maguire schooled him at Dromahane just over a week before Punchestown. He jumped the three fences in the straight three times and is a great jumper. In fact Mikey O'Connor had schooled him over fences even before he ran in a bumper. Michael Winters
After race at Cork Sun, 16th Oct, 2011 (1st) We were very happy with him coming here today. The rain came which suited. We gave him a few bits of work over with Adrian Maguire during the week and Adrian rode him himself. He said you could ride this horse anywhere. He is a very talented horse . he is a great jumper and he'll definitely stay further. He could go next for a Grade 3 novice hurdle over three miles here next month. It's tempting as it's a good pot or another option is a two and a half mile race at Thurles. He'll go chasing next year. Michael Winters
After race at Clonmel Sun, 25th Sep, 2011 (1st) She will go for the Munster National if it rains and the ground is soft. The Munster National will be run at Limerick on Sunday October 9. Michael Winters
After race at Cork Mon, 1st Aug, 2011 (1st) He jinked, dropped his shoulder and got rid of Davy going down. Davy said that he probably wants an ease in the ground and a greater test of stamina. He did the job well enough there though and maybe we'll think about Listowel now. I wouldn't have run here only I was passing the track last Sunday (July 24th) and they were watering. I was very happy with the ground today. Michael Winters
After race at Galway Mon, 25th Oct, 2010 (1st) He is still very green and we haven't done a lot with him since Listowel. He is a very nice horse and I'll have to talk to the owners but he'll be beginning his hurdling career now. Michael Winters
After race at Listowel Fri, 17th Sep, 2010 (1st) That was great and this horse is a super jumper. I said when he first arrived in the yard that he looked like Master Minded. Michael Winters
