He lost his way a bit,.

Thomas Cleary

After race at Laytown Thu, 8th Sep, 2011 (1st)

He ran in March of last year and got hurt. He came back in the spring and like any athlete that gets an injury or two it takes its toll. When he came back he was rated 75 or 6 and he was running his races without being competitive. The handicapper then gave him a chance and he came into a bit of form. He ran very well at Wexford to be 2nd and then he won at Clonmel last time. Perseverance has paid off as he hadn't won in 2 years and now he's won twice in a week. When they are fit and well there is no harm in running them. He stays well and I told Mikey to jump out and make it a good even gallop.

K J Condon

After race at Clonmel Thu, 1st Sep, 2011 (1st)

We thought the ground might be a shade quick for him but he handled it well,. He missed a year with injury and we're delighted to win with him as it's two years since he last won. He's entered at Laytown (a week from today) and he may run there. He's a fun horse and when he's fit and well it's better to race him than work him at home. He likes Dundalk and there is a good programme there for him over the winter.

K J Condon

After race at Dundalk Thu, 26th Nov, 2009 (1st)

He deserved that , he's a lovely horse and we were hoping he would have done it earlier in the year . He'll be a grand horse for next year and he absolutely loves that ground.
