After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 25th Aug, 2017 (1st)  That was brilliant. I was having a bit of a ponder yesterday morning as I was going to run him in Killarney from 5lb wrong in the good handicap hurdle,. I thought there was great money for offer in it, and a handy field, but it is a quality field. The other option was to come here. I wasn't sure the track would suit him but the ground is on the slow side and things are falling apart and not happening fast around here tonight. He'll probably go for the handicap hurdle on the Thursday at Listowel, which I won last year with Jack The Wire. He's a chaser long term and anything he does over hurdles is a bonus. He's actually already ran over a fence, when he fell at Thurles when running well. It's great for Ray (Treacy) who lives in England but his sister is here today. He's a great supporter. That ground is lovely for him. You don't know what way Listowel will be but that's the aim anyway. Denis Gerard Hogan

After race at Clonmel Thu, 8th Dec, 2016 (1st)  He was due that after I didn't get the best of runs around at Thurles. He was a bit green and I didn't give him the best of rides. It's good to make amends today for the lads Ray Treacy and Shaun Staplehurst, who are local but based in England. Ray has a good few horses with me and is a good supporter. He'll turn out somewhere over Christmas. He is what he is but is only a four-year-old and is big and raw. Fences will be his job eventually. Denis Gerard Hogan
