I’m delighted for Richard and Suzanne (Kennedy) who are fantastic owners and we recommended Far Eadrainn to them a couple of years ago, so it’s after working out well. He was racing a little bit idly in the first half of his races and that’s why we stepped him up to three miles on his first run back in October. We thought three miles would suit, but we were wrong and he didn’t have the stamina for it. We dropped back to 2m4f today, knowing that he should get it, but I was a bit surprised how easily he won, given the horses he was taking on. He always had the ability and we’ll see where we go with him now and see what the handicapper does. Patrick T Foley, trainer
