After race at Thurles Thu, 13th Jan, 2011 (1st)

He was obviously fortunate but we think he will improve and he'll be better on better ground. He should also mature as an individual.

After race at Killarney Tue, 18th Aug, 2009 (1st)

The Pier should make an ideal hurdler, and may make his jumping debut at Listowel.next month. We may run him on the Flat again in the meantime but he wouldn't want the ground any slower.

Joseph G Murphy

After race at Killarney Mon, 13th Jul, 2009 (1st)

The Pier will hopefully make a lovely hurdler later in the year and will run next in a mile and a half handicap at Galway ¿ ground shouldn't be an issue with him.
