Jumping the last I was confident, but the other horse must have been idle because when he got to him, he picked up again. It was close when they got to the line. It was great to get a pot like that with him because he’s been a bit fragile. Ger Kelly has a good bit of work done with him over the years. Touch wood he’s in good order this year and we’ve had no problems with him. He was hampered at the third-last, the horse fell in front of him, and he was shuffled back a small bit. There was a good strong gallop all the way and it helped.

He had a nice run the last day in Gowran Park, he finished fourth and it was a step forward a bit. He seemed to just handle conditions very well and probably handled them more than most of them. He stayed on and it was a nice pot to get. I had the mare (Byerley Babe) and she was a black-type mare. She was a good mare and was a little bit unlucky late in her career, she got an infection in a back leg and it just held us up when we thought we had her. These things happen. We’ll look at Fairyhouse or Punchestown and see what way the ground is as he does handle those conditions well.
