After race at Down Royal Fri, 30th Aug, 2019 (1st)

He'll go over fences now - I think he is around 89 over fences so we will see. I knew if they didn't get too much rain and the ground stayed good he would be hard to beat. He was in good old form.

Matthew J Smith

After race at Roscommon Tue, 9th Jul, 2019 (1st)

He looked beat and Paul gave him a great ride. I said to Pat (Keating) today that if he was going to win again it would be today. He's in good form, the ground suited him and he's won here before. He was back down to a mark that he was capable of winning off as well.

Matthew J Smith

After race at Roscommon Tue, 13th Jun, 2017 (1st)

He came out of the race well at Clonmel, and we let him take his chance. He's done it well again there, and that trip is ideal. He's entered at Downpatrick on Saturday. I don't know if he'll go there but we'll see how he is after this.

Matthew J Smith

After race at Clonmel Fri, 9th Jun, 2017 (1st)

He's done it well. Andrew rode him the last day and said he didn't stay (2m5f). He said to go back to two miles and he was right. I'm delighted for Pat Keating (owner) as the horse has had a few problems. He was right the last day but just didn't stay.
