After race at Tipperary Tue, 1st Jul, 2025 (1st) 
He’s a great auld servant and has won now on the Flat, over hurdles and fences. He gives the boys (For The Good Times Syndicate) a good day out every day he runs. You can be sure he’ll be in Killarney and Galway and will keep mixing it. Cian was very happy with him today and thought the extra trip was a big plus to him which will open up a few more options. He was slower than the other horse at the last but had the Flat speed to quicken up well.
