I legged up Michael's dad Willie O'Sullivan for my first winner in a point-to-point in Dungarvan in the early 1990s and it has been a full turn of the wheel. He is a fantastic lad and to be honest I haven't been watching him that much, but have been hearing about him. I knew was cool, that's what I wanted and he gave the horse a fantastic ride. I told him not to go wide and if you have to sit, sit. He said he could have gone wide but he sat. He is unbelievable value for his 7lb claim. the horse works on his own because he is very hard on himself so I didn't have a clue what way he was going to run. After his Galway run we were disappointed but Donal MacAuley, who rides him out and does all the work with him, was happy and said he was in good form. He was eating and everything was ok and while we always felt there was a big handicap in him, I thought we were 10 or 12 pounds too high. Today was the big target but Sandy (Shaw, handicapper) will have a say now. He could jump a fence but could stay over hurdles for a while. The lads at home have done a great job and Michael Brown, my head lad, has been fantastic - this is a great boost. Terence O'Brien

After race at Killarney Fri, 15th Jul, 2022 (1st)  We said we'd give him a break after his last run and come here before going to Galway. I didn't think he was 100% today but he is a funny horse to train and is very hard on himself. You can never do too little with him, Donal Macauley rides him at home and does a super job and keeps the lid on him. He has been fantastic for us and he'll run in the two-miles handicap hurdle on the Friday at Galway. The family are a bit emotional as Barry Walsh was involved with (owner) Joe Sheahan but died a fortnight before the horse won for the first time. Barry was a cattle dealer from Rathpeacon and this is a poignant moment. Terence O'Brien

After race at Wexford Sun, 16th May, 2021 (1st)  Unfortunately his part-owner Barry Walsh died a few weeks ago. He was a cattle dealer and a very well-known man from Rathpeacon in Co Cork. I’d say half the country backed him. This is the first horse he had with me and he died sudden. It was a sad event. It was great that he was able to win for his family today. He has been a very difficult horse to train. He is a very hot horse and we tried him with the hood. The hard work early on has paid off with him now. He did that very well and I’m delighted with him. He will go for something similar now. Terence O'Brien
