Sun, 1st Nov, 2026  He’s a grand old horse. He’s in a Listed race next Saturday at Doncaster but he is ground dependent, he loves the soft and grows a leg on it,. He loves this place as well. I have to thank Richie Brophy, who is the grounds manager here. He said he’d get away with it, because they know the old horse. He said there was still plenty of yielding to soft in it. I know we were going seven but he was second in the big one at Galway over seven to Dunum. I said that he went up the hill in Galway so he’d surely get seven here. It’s to be really dry next week in England. Doncaster last week was heavy and I’m hoping. I’ve a few friends who live around there so I’ll get them to walk the track and see. Daniel James Murphy

After race at Curragh Thu, 15th Oct, 2026 (1st)  We were just waiting for the ground, he just grows a leg on it. He won it last year for us. When he had the ten stone, I said I'd put Terry Casey on. He's my apprentice now this year. He's coming to hand and he's starting to listen. It just takes time, you have to educate these lads. I'll make a jockey out of that fella. There's one race left there over seven furlongs on 1st November and looking at him there, I'd say he'd get it. Daniel James Murphy

Thu, 16th Oct, 2025  He’s a nice horse. I was delighted the ground change to soft because he is a Caravaggio and he actually grows a leg on soft ground,. We were very confident today. I had Colin Keane back on board, he won on him by seven-and-a-half lengths (at Naas back in April). He got a 16lb rise then so he said he owed us one!. He is in the October Horses-in-Training Sale. I’d be sorry to lose him because I think he’d be a good four-year-old as well. He’s going the right way. I’d say there is a big premier handicap in him. I’d be sorry to let him go but we’ll put a good reserve on him. I bought two nice yearlings and somebody has to pay for them! Daniel James Murphy

After race at Curragh Sat, 4th Oct, 2025 (1st)  I’m delighted with the run because he’s a three-year-old. He had a four-year-old beside him and he’s a big strong horse that Gerrit’s Gem,. He ran a cracker in the Bold Lad, and he hadn’t run in three months because of the hard ground in the summer. He’s a good horse and I’ll consider entering him for York next Saturday, there is a £100,000 handicap. If he got heavy ground again he’d go. He’s in the October Sale. The owners want to buy a couple of yearlings so I said if we got a few quid for him we’d buy a couple of yearlings. Daniel James Murphy
