He nearly got done there, the two of them were nearly in the car park!. He is what he is and it is grand that he did that. They (Keep Your Distance Syndicate) are a great bunch of local lads in the GAA club, neighbours of mine and I've known them a long time. They claimed him this time last year. I recommended them to claim him because the man that had him originally (Eric Carson) was a good owner of mine and he just had enough. It has worked out well, but it is just unfortunate as I would have loved to have seen him have a bit of success.

It’s great for the boys (Keep Your Distance Syndicate) and they are a great cheerful lot who claimed him last year in Dundalk. He was owned by a great man in Eric Carson. It’s after working out well and he’s won a couple and was a tad unlucky on Monday. It was unreal the way it all opened for him like the Red Sea.

Siobhan did everything right and fair play to her. She’s been lucky for us. I’m delighted for the man that owns him, Eric Carson from Comber in County Down, and the syndicate is named after his late wife (Elizabethcarsonracing Syndicate). He’s a horse that should have a few races won before now and he’d run well here before.
