After race at Down Royal Mon, 2nd May, 2011 (1st)

The four and a half hour trip here was worth it. This fellow was very unlucky last time at Ballinrobe. My horses are coming into form, we had a winner at Sligo yesterday and that is now five of the six horses we have in training that have won.

David Martin Kelly

After race at Gowran Park Sun, 17th Apr, 2011 (1st)

He shows plenty of ability at home but seems to pack it in on the racecourse,. He's been a nightmare to train and hasn't won for two-and-a-half years. He'll go to Cork for a handicap hurdle next.
