After race at Leopardstown Sun, 30th Mar, 2025 (1st)

He gets his turn every so often and is a prolific winner in the past. He’s a nine-year-old now and there is still life in him. We’ll go on for the summer with him and I’m delighted for Paul (Sweeney, owner) who is a gentleman to train for. It’s a nice day to get a winner and he could come back as he seems to like it around here. He’s a real pet of a horse and he was swinging there with Shane and really loving it. He’s still enjoying life even after all the miles that he’s put up over the years.

After race at Roscommon Mon, 13th May, 2024 (1st)

He's a grand horse, he's been a prolific winner all his life,. We were wondering would he go on soft but he ran well on it in Leopardstown the last day, you need a soft ground horse in this country nowadays!. (Front-running) is suitable around here all the time. He's always very straightforward, very quick out and always in front. It's a fair old advantage around here. He's a good fun horse and I'm delighted for the owner Paul Sweeney who is a good supporter of mine. I'm delighted to get the odd winner for him. Ground doesn't seem to matter now so we'll keep going with him while he's running well.
